HollywoodBobsays...They need to feed them both to the Rancor.
Conan stopped being funny after the move, and Jay was never funny.
They need to let Conan go back to doing his oddball humor, and not force him to dumb down his show to make it suitable for the geezers that used to watch Jay.
And if Jay wants to have a show, let him do something where he'd be genuinely interesting and let him host an American Top Gear.
HollywoodBobsays...*edit* Whoops, double post.
dagsays...Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)
My prediction (wish):
Conan moves to Comedy Central and comes on after Colbert, forming a new Stewart / Colbert / O'Brien comedy triumvirate - and destroys Leno in the ratings.
Leno, by all accounts is a nice fellow- I just can't stand his show.
Edit: Yes - a primetime, American Topgear would be the perfect gig for Jay. I enjoy watching him talk about cars.
Vexussays..."I'd actually tune in to see "Coco and The Chin". I just wonder which one is which."
You've never actually seen Jay "The Chin" Leno before have you, or is this just sarcasm?

Yes! Awesome. So who would be Richard Hammond and who would be James May?

Here! Me! Take me! Here! Ding ding ding! Heeeeelloooooooo! I volunteer!
...as Hammond that is. Seriously, who would want to be May?
kymbossays...I know of more than one account of Jay Leno being less than a nice fellow. Patton Oswalt for one, and Bill Hicks for another.
Here, I'll sift it: http://videosift.com/video/Bill-Hicks-on-Jay-Leno-in-1993

Oh, there's so many American "celebrity" petrol heads, we could make a list a mile long!
To go the same route as the UK TG, we'd want to find people with a passion for cars, a minor amount of fame dealing with cars, and a career in which becoming the co-host of a TV series won't conflict.
It's too hard to pick people as stand-ins for the Top Gear boys, the three of them work so well together, that chemistry would be hard to match.
My suggestions: Jay Leno, Paul Walker (his career is mediocre) or Frankie Muniz (stopped acting several years ago to become a pro race driver), and Jalopnik's Ray Wert.
HugeJerksays...I think one of the problems with Conan's show at 11:30 is that the same viewers that would watch him would rather watch Letterman.
brycewi19says...He's actually really been handling this situation with a lot of class and dignity, especially by refusing to move the show.
It's nice to see him recognize that he's not bigger than the institution.
