Question 433.d: Taking it on the chin

These were the hosts of an NBC show, which is the longest currently running regularly scheduled entertainment program in the United States.
Following the 3rd pic was a person X, who some say catapulted it into fame, beating several other shows such as the Letterman show etc in its heyday.
X was replaced by Y


Questions:
1) Id X and Y
2) Something happened after the replacement, what was it








X

Y

'The Tonight Show'
X- Jay Leno
Y- Conan O'Brien

The Conan vs. Leno conflict over time slots that the media turned into a Ali vs. Frasier style war.

The Tonight Show :D
1. X - Jay Leno
Y - Conan O'Brien

2. Bah, question two is damn lame. Anyway, apparently, after NBC signed Conan to be the new host of The Tonight Show, they gave Jay Leno his own show called The Jay Leno Show. Both shows started off with a bang but eventually lost viewership. So NBC wanted to shift the shows to lame not-so-prime time slots. Both of them got cranky esp. Conan because The Tonight Show was always aired at the 11:30 slot. ALWAYS! How could they do that to him? :O :P
So they made a big deal about it and people supported Conny but NBC didn't agree and Conan flipped them off, took moolah and went packing. Leno on the other hand got back to hosting the Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Oh, cheap shot at Leno's chin man. But so true:P
