Something tells me that NBC’s decision to ensure Conan the “Tonight Show” in 2009 was a mistake. Jay Leno seems to be at the top of his game…and his ratings are still killer.

NBC has stated more than once that they would like to keep Jay Leno with the network in some capacity after they kicked him out of Johnny’s chair (that’s right - it’s STILL Johnny’s chair).

Leno has now officially gone on record as saying that he IS NOT staying with NBC…but he isn’t retiring either.

Chances are either ABC or FOX is going to get him, and he’s going to kick Conan’s ass in 2009.

Don’t say I didn’t warn ya.
