Jay Leno doesn't regret Conan O'Brien Tonight Show debacle

The Daily Beast

Andy Cohen asked the former Tonight Show host last night on Watch What Happens Live, “If you could go back and redo one thing during the time from when Conan took over for you on the Tonight Show and then after 10 months you came back to the Tonight Show, what would it be?” Leno responded without hesitation, “I can’t think of anything I’d do different," adding: “Look, they’re ratings-based shows. People act like it’s your decision. ‘Well, you know, I think I’ll go back.’ The network makes these decisions. They decide when you’re going to leave and they decide they want you to come back. So there’s not a lot different I would have done.”
