That's not what happened with Conan. Google it and you can actually view the contract he signed. NBC made a mess of the whole thing and didn't handle it well at all, but Leno didn't push him off or do anything anything wrong at all. He was vilified in the media, but it was all bullshit.

Leno is to blame because he didn't preserve the integrity of The Tonight Show. It may not be in any contract, but talk shows like those have a hierarchy to them and everyone knows that. When you're done, you pass it down and then leave. What did Leno do? Okay, he wanted a primetime show. NBC's fault for adhering to his wishes. His crashed and burned, and he ruined the ratings not just of Conan's Tonight Show but of the local news. Lead-ins for shows like those are VERY IMPORTANT.

Throughout the NBC mess, all he cared about was his own ass. Conan didn't want to move the Tonight Show to 12 partly because that would've moved Fallon to 1 AM, a time wherein no one watches. Conan = thinking of the franchise, of his fellow talk show hosts

Leno = thinking of ways to keep himself on the air

And then Leno had to go and say at the end of the debacle: "Both Conan and I got screwed"

Conan was left without a show, his dream ripped away from him. Leno got the Tonight Show back. How the fuck was he screwed?
