Fred Silverman. I Guess He's The One To Blame For The Leno Rise/Conan Demise.

Conan left NBC this week $30 million dollars richer but without the ownership of some of his best material. Given that he's a world class comedy writer, I wouldn't be too sad.
Leno will go back to 11:35 and stay there until all the old people die. Then all of us kids will rule the world, we will bring back Chapelle, and everything will be good again.
While we wait for Dave Chapelle to answer the phone, read this awesome email TMZ got of Fred Silverman telling Ben Silverman about a genius idea... Leno at 10pm!
But TMZ has obtained an email sent by Silverman in 2008 to two top NBC execs in which Fred seemingly concocts the entire plan of moving Jay to 10:00 PM. He pitches the idea as, "Here's a way to solve your Jay Leno problem, improve your primetime ratings, save untold development costs and make a gazillion dollars at the same time." Did any of those things actually happen?
