If the Peacock execs had listened to David Letterman, maybe they could have kept Conan O’Brien from walking way from The Tonight Show. After all, who knows more about late-night drama than the man once screwed over by NBC?
Last night, the Late Show host came up with an idea that could have made Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon happy. (Unfortunately, Dave had “no solutions” as to how to help Carson Daly, the man who’s like “the Pluto of talk shows.”)

The Jay Leno Show Leaving Primetime on February 12
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Comedy, Late Night, Prime Time, Talk Shows, NBC, News, Rumors,
Although the drama surrounding NBC’s late-night schedule is still ongoing, two things were finally made clear by NBC Universal TV chairman Jeff Gaspin today:
- The Jay Leno Show will air its final 10:00 broadcast on February 12.
- The network has asked Conan O’Brien and Jimmy Fallon to adjust their start times by 30 minutes.
The decision, which was revealed at the Television Critics Assn. Press Tour, was reportedly a result of increased pressure by the local affiliates. It wasn’t a reaction to Jay Leno’s actual work.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC, Gossip, Video,
It may have taken over 24 hours, but Conan O’Brien has finally had his say.
Although Jay Leno managed to turn around jokes yesterday about NBC’s late-night drama, the Tonight Show host remained mum on the subject…that is until now.
How will the 11:30 PM time issue finally be resolved? My favorite rumor: Jay and Conan will be joining the cast of Jersey Shore as a new character called “The Awkward Situation.”

UPDATE: TMZ claims O’Brien has a choice—take the later slot or leave the network.
“Hey, Kev—what does NBC stand for? Never Believe your Contract.”
Although he’s at the center of possible new shakeup at his network, Jay Leno used the opportunity to crack a few jokes about the awkward situation tonight.
Will the The Jay Leno Show be canceled as rumored? Possibly. But there’s an entirely different scenario that seems far more likely.

What does it look like when you bring a puppet on a stick to a four-day music festival? A little something like this.
Last night on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog shared video from his journey to the 8th annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee.

Conan O’Brien Talks About Super Mario Resemblance
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Late Night, Talk Shows, NBC, Video,
During Conan O’Brien’s first week on The Tonight Show, it was hard not to find an opinion about the host’s performance. But I don’t think the execs were expecting to hear much about the set.
Earlier this week, Serious Lunch compared the studio’s background to the classic Super Mario Bros. game. This internet buzz led to an analysis during Friday’s taping.
