I don't think Jimmy Fallon's got much to worry about, because I don't see the Tonight Show getting bumped to 12:05am.. I think they're ultimately going to have to decide whether to get rid of Leno or Conan, and right now, the numbers say Leno was better than Conan at 11:35.
Which means, of course, they'll hand The Tonight Show back to him.
My personal opinion is that Leno's 10pm show KILLED any chance Conan ever had of retaining an audience for The Tonight Show.. Jay's show is being cancelled because all the news affiliates were like...hey...where'd the audience go?!? And if people aren't watching the news on NBC (because Leno ran'em off at 10pm, IMO
), then they're probably not going to flip back over to NBC at 11:35..
...especially not when they can watch Dave Letterman grovel for having affairs and whatnot...
My feeling is that Leno needs to do for Conan what Carson did for him....LEAVE.
Just my $.02.
Oh, and can I also just say...Kevin Whatshisface...Leno's band leader.........luckiest guy in LA. Seriously.
