Basically leno set a date to leave the Tonight show because of pressure from NBC. They then announced thar Conan would take over in 6 years time with Leno's blessing. Leno then has his own show which was basically the exact same at the Tonight Show and was Conan's lead in. Well Conan hadn't really developed an audience and NBC got antsy and asked Leno if he'd be interested in moving his show into Conan's time slot and bumping Conan back. Knowing Conan wouldn't accept this deal NBC/Leno weaseled their way into giving Leno back the Tonight show.
That is the perception at least. I am sure there is a little more to it than that (I know there is). There is a fantastic book that was released by the same guy who wrote the late shift.
