Interesting. I believe it has something to do with the late night schedule between Jay Leno and Conan. In my opinion, Conan is better.
-I'm with Coco.
I've been following this late night shakeup, and I watch Conan pretty much daily. I know of people that are siding with Conan and people siding with Jay, and expressing their ideas about it online, but I don't know if I've seen a single cohesive meme here.
With Kanye, the "Yo X I'mma let you finish but Y had the best Z of all time" madlib and photoshop creations made for an easily identifiable meme.
I'm watching tweets roll by on Google's live search: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbo=1&output=search&q=conan&tbs=rltm:1
I'm not sure of where the meme is here though.
I see that Conan fans are showing allegiance by calling themselves Team Conan. But that's really more of a story about fandom than memes.
EDIT:
It's kind of funny how the current real time search results for Leno are mostly in support of Conan as well.

Team Conan Twitter trend:

It looks like there's been a twibbon made as well, but adoption of it is still <2000 people.

It's big news, and there's a fan reaction. It's participatory, but I'm not quite getting how it fits in the context of memetics.
Speaking of Team, Would Team X Team Y be a meme?
Like Team Rocket?
or that Twilight crap .__.
Like parodies of idiot twilight fans.
Bleh, I hate Twilight, but I hate the fans even more.
Team X…

Ehhh, gonna have to maneuver around some stuff and info. I'm not sure if it qualifies as meme, though.
Twilight is awful.
