For Lilly

NBC announced today that Conan O'Brien will succeed Jay Leno as host of the "Tonight" show at the end of Mr. Leno's current five-year contract in 2009.

Mr. O'Brien signed a new contract today that guarantees he will take over "Tonight," still the leading show in late-night television, at a yet to be determined date in 2009.

I believe the question that follows is: Will he revolutionize the crap typical of today's Big Two or will he succumb to please-the-masses hackdom? I pray to God, Allah, Yahweh, and all the rest (or perhaps just the "Om") that it's the former.
