Couple things I'll add:
I did read the book on the situation.
A major reason Conan took the buyout, was for his staff. Note that he and the staff had just picked up and moved to LA from NYC less than a year prior. a lot of people moved away from family. It's why some of the mainstay writers left (Stack, McCann)
Conan's tonight show wasn't outright cancelled. Leno's variety show was. NBC's first idea was to give the first 30 minutes of the Tonight Show to Leno (Monologue and 1 guest) then let Conan's tonight show on afterwards. Conan wouldn't back down (the "Tomorrow Tonight show" as it would start at 12:05 AM EST) and NBC wouldn't back down, and they paid out Conan's contract.
I also would never say "viewership = Quality" or else TBBT and Empire are the best shows on TV.
