Reality TV > Conan Still Set for Tonight Show in 2009

There's a lot of good news coming out of this Television Critics Association event, but so far this is the best:
 
Conan O'Brien is still set to take over for Jay Leno in 2009 as the host of 'The Tonight Show'.  
 
Though this brings a boatload of worries with it (will NBC let Conan keep being Conan?  Will he have to ham it down a little bit to survive the dangerously subdued audiences?  Will he have to make himself unfunny to better emulate Jay Leno?) it's damn, damn good news.  
 
Sadly, Jimmy Fallon will still fill his vacant, post-'Tonight Show' spot.
