Wow. The 30 Rock studio in question is TINY. I've been in it and I'd guess it holds about 1/5 of what the California's Tonight studio holds. Wonder if they'll rethink this and build Fallon something new, like Letterman has...
Paul- I'm no fan of Jay Leno, but your comments about Leno and Conan are unburdened by any relationship with reality. Go read "The War for Late Night" by Bill Carter. Leno liked Conan, but was not going to be fucked over by NBC and tools that ran it. And then NBC fucked up the changeover.
@2, every studio in 30 Rock is much smaller than the Burbank studio. There isn't much that can be done about that if he wants to stay in that building.
Plenty of Democrats like Leno too but I guess its cool for the hipsters to hate on him. Personally I find them all funny, Leno, Fallon, Conan, Letterman, and Kimmel.
Leno is vehemently not funny to me. Just can't stand him really. Conan is likable but not funny. Same with Fallon. Only Craig Ferguson and Letterman are genuinely hilarious in my opinion.
That said, who the fuck watches the Tonight Show?!

He's hungry for something new, and others are hungry to take that anchor seat at TDS.
