why does conan obrion get another chance?

Wasn't he fired for not being funny? I'm pretty sure he lost his last show due to ratings in the single digits. I'm sure that, like all late night "comedy" shows, he doesn't write his own jokes. So, wtf? I remember during the writer's strike, John Lebowitz's (aka John Stewart) show was forced to go underground and they ran re-runs. If you can't do the job, get out!
