Breaking up is hard to do.
According to TMZ, NBC and Conan O’Brien have much more than final payment matters to settle before they part ways. The almost-former Tonight Show host is known not just for his red hair and Irish origin but for a handful of characters he created while under NBC’s employ. So, does Conan own the skits…or does the network?

VIDEO: Kiefer Sutherland Wears Dress for Letterman
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, CBS, Gossip, Video,
I doubt even Jack Bauer has had to endure such torture.
Actor Kiefer Sutherland suffered his “most humiliating moment” ever when he was forced to wear a dress on TV earlier this week.
The 24 star admitted to David Letterman that his green dress, cream t-shirt and combat boots ensemble was the result of a Patriots game.
“I lost a bet over the weekend. I was so sure New England was going to win, that I told a guy who used to be my friend that if New England lost, I would wear a dress on Letterman And so, here I am,” he explained.

VIDEO: Jimmy Fallon covers Pants on the Ground
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Music, NBC, Video,
While it’s no surprise that General Larry Platt‘s “Pants on the Ground” has become a YouTube sensation, I doubt even the American Idol contestant could have seen this cover coming.
On last night’s broadcast of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, the host - er, I mean, musician Neil Young - brought a unique twist to the catchy song.
In case you haven’t yet seen the original version, you can watch Platt - who will be appearing on The View next Monday - perform it after the jump.

Awkward TV: Jimmy Kimmel Embarrasses Jay on Leno’s Own Show
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Prime Time, Talk Shows, NBC, Video,
Want to know why The Jay Leno Show is being canceled? Because viewers are laughing at Jay, not with Jay.
Even though Jimmy Kimmel devoted Tuesday’s show to mocking Jay Leno, he somehow scored an invite to appear (remotely) on The Jay Leno Show last night. Was it because Jay knows how to laugh at himself? (He does…only when he’s making the jokes.) Was it because Jay thought he could somehow turn the tables on Kimmel? (I can’t tell if he tried.) Was it because he thought his ABC competitor would say sorry? (Jimmy doesn’t know how to apologize to men with “$800 million.” He only knows how to make them feel even worse.)
Watch the awkwardness kick in around the 2:45 mark.

American Idol 9: Atlanta Auditions
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Music, Prime Time, Reality, FOX, American Idol, Gossip, Video,
Mary J. Blige was the guest judge for the Atlanta auditions, which were taped during American Idol’s summer scramble to negotiate contracts and fill Paula Abdul’s spot on the panel.
Dewone Robinson was the first contestant to be featured, and it seemed pretty clear early on that he was going to tank. He was predictably horrible and incredibly strange, reducing the female judges to laughter. Simon Cowell called it “one of the worst original songs” he’s ever heard. Robinson then launched into a few bars of Rick James. Randy Jackson, fed up, finally started screaming for security. Dewone sang himself on down the elevator.
The next auditioner, Keia Johnson, is a former Miss Congeniality and positively adorable. She belted out Celine Dion powerfully, immediately shutting up the panel. “She can sing,” Mary J. Blige stated. Keia grew increasingly excited as each judge, one by one, gave her the “yes” vote. Her audition is viewable in the video above.
Miriam Lemnouni chose a Miley Cyrus song. Noel Reese belted Whitney Houston. Tisha Holland delivered a little soul. All three became part of a “you’re going to Hollywood” montage.

VIDEO: Jimmy Kimmel Mocks Jay Leno

And here I thought Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel were friends.
Many viewers were probably a bit confused last night when they stayed up late to watch Jimmy Kimmel Live right after Nightline. Did they accidentally switch channels to NBC? Did their clocks go back an hour? No - that wasn’t Jay Leno they were seeing. That was actually Kimmel fronting his own show - the entire show - while dressed as his competitor.
“Hello, hello, my name is Jay Leno...and let it hereby be known that I’m taking over all the shows in late night, beginning with this one,” the faux NBC host explained.
