All of the mess really falls on NBC from what I can tell.
Leno agreed to give up The Tonight Show, but got whiny about it when the time came to actually go. NBC feared he'd go to another network, so they devised the prime-time thing. Yes, NBC themselves are very much to blame for the mess. But my dislike for Leno himself remains.
