Jay will definitely still do the "watered down" American version. Let's not forget that Conan is getting ready to take over Jay's slot on the Tonight Show.

Jay's got more money than God, and is too used to being on TV. It's not like he's Johnny Carson who actually did retire after 40 some odd years on television.
