==1992 Tonight Show Conflict==
−
On May 22, 1992, Johnny Carson's final episode of the Tonight Show aired.  Three days later, Jay Leno began his first run as host of the show.  However, Carson had always seen David Letterman, who, at the time, was the Host of ''Late Night'', as his proper successor.  However, NBC went with Leno instead.  This caused a rift between Leno and Letterman, which lasted for years.  For the first three years of Leno's run, the ratings were low.  However, after a 1995 episode in which Hugh Grant appeared on the show following lewd conduct charges, Leno would become number one in the ratings, a position he would hold until 2009.  Eventually, Letterman would leave NBC and host his own show ''Late Show with David Letterman'' on CBS, which he would host from 1993-2015.  In the fall of 2015, Stephen Colbert would take over ''Late Show'' for Letterman.  Meanwhile, Conan O'Brien would replace Letterman has host of ''Late Night'' from 1993-2009.
