Conan's Not Joking With NBC

Conan O’Brien will not be accepting NBC’s proposal to move him and “The Tonight Show,” from the 11:35 p.m. to the 12:05 a.m. time slot. O’Brien started hosting “The Tonight Show,” about seven months ago after Jay Leno left it to host his own show called “The Jay Leno Show.”

On Sunday NBC announced that they were going to take “The Jay Leno Show” out of its prime-time position. The show was doing poorly in the ratings at the 10 p.m. time slot and was not meeting the affiliates’ needs. They plan to have Leno host a new half-hour show at the 11:35 p.m. slot. However, this move will have a domino effect.

This pushes O’Brien’s “The Tonight Show,” and Jimmy Fallon’s “Late Night,” into later time slots. A main reason why O’Brien is not accepting NBC’s proposal is due to the survival of the show. “The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn’t the Tonight Show,” says O’Brien.

He not only makes this decision for himself but for his fellow competitors, which brings some humanity into the business world. “Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the Late Night show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot,” says O’Brien. “That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.”

Now these talk shows hosts are doing what they do best—talking. Leno spends some time on his show bashing the way NBC handled the situation. “They don't have a lot of tact,” says Leno. “After they canceled the show, they told me if I gained 10 pounds I could join 'The Biggest Loser.'”

O’Brien is upset because he and his staff have worked very hard to get where they are, and it is very disappointing for him. However, no matter how upset he may be, he never fails to shed some light with his own Conan style. He ended his statement by saying, “Have a great day and, for the record, I am truly sorry about my hair; it’s always been that way.”

The Scoop On Late Night Show Switches!


We know it's confusing! Last week NY host Conan O’Brien signed off and is moving his show to L.A. He’ll take over the Tonight Show from Jay Leno later this year. In his place – enter Jimmy Fallon, the new host of Late Night. Jimmy’s first show is Monday and People has confirmed that Justin Timberlake will help his old friend kick it off his first show. The two starred in the classic SNL skit, "The Barry Gibbs Talk Show" together.

Robert De Niro will also be a guest on the show. Pretty strong for ratings, we think! "I thought it would be kind of good to have my first guy be probably one of the toughest people you could interview," Fallon said recently.

Fallon has also booked Clap Your Hands Say Yeah for his March 4 show, and "Gossip Girl" hunk Chace Crawford for March 6.

Leno's Last Night Set

Starting next June Conan O'Brien will take over "Tonight" hosting duties for Jay Leno; Leno's fate remains unknown.

Leno's last show will be Friday, May 29, and O'Brien will start on Monday, June 1, NBC executives said.

NBC is trying to keep Leno with the network, but the soon to be deposed host has indicated he is ready to jump ship. NBC competitors, including other major networks, may be the ones throwing Leno the life preserver.

Jimmy Fallon will be taking over "Late Night" for O'Brien in March or April of 2009.

O'Brien will wrap up filming of his show sometime in the first quarter of the year - the exact date has yet to be determined. The network will air reruns until Fallon takes over.

Jimmy Fallon to Replace Conan O’Brien


Several reports have claimed that Jimmy Fallon signed a deal with NBC on Thursday to replace Conan O’Brien as the host of their “Late Night” program.

O’Brien is supposed to take over Jay Leno’s time-slot on the “Tonight Show” at 11:30 PM, and Fallon’s program would follow at 12:30am.

The idea that Fallon, the former Saturday Night Live regular, would succeed O’Brien has been circulating for months, but the network is keeping it under wraps. NBC is expected to officially announce their new host by the end of May.
