Did Jay Leno really want to retire or did NBC force him off of the Tonight Show, only to back track?
I thought maybe they were pushing him out since they told Conan a long time ago he could have it, and I remember Jay making some joke a long time ago about them making him leave. Maybe to get Conan all worked up and to sign a contract.
So, did he actually want to or did they insist on him leaving?

I actually think Leno expected he would be ready to retire at the time.
Of course we now know he wasn’t ready to retire, and they gave him his own show, which flopped, and ultimately has become a giant punch in the face for Conan. Whether you like him or not, he didn’t deserve that treatment.
