Carson's ratings were beginning to fall a bit and the Tonight Show was showing it's age. Leno had offers to go to other networks and his agent used that leverage to get NBC to expedite Johnny's retirement. I thought everyone knew that.

Carson could have stayed as long as he wanted. It was his choice and his alone to leave. If he wasn't ready, he would have stayed in the limelight.

Everyone does. I don't know what this guy is talking about. Leno didn't do it himself personally though. I don't know anything about the Leno\Conan stuff.

Does that say when this will air?

Carson's rating were slipping. But this Leno mystique is bullshite. Had he wanted to, Carson could have stayed until he died on the set. NBC would never have the balls to axe him.
