Just about a month ago there was a rumor that NBC was trying to replace Conan O Brien with Jerry Seinfeld. The good news for Conan is that he doesn’t have to worry about that anymore. The bad news is everything else, beginning with the very next sentence.
Jay Leno is going back to his 11:30 PM time slot, and it’s looking like Conan O’Brien is the odd man out
We’ve learned Jay’s 10:00 PM show will go on hiatus February 1. After the Olympics, Jay will take back his 11:30 PM time slot. What has not been decided — whether Jay’s show will be a half hour, followed by Conan, or whether Jay’s show will be an hour and NBC says sayonara to Mr. O’Brien.
One of the reasons Conans numbers are down is because Leno is in last place by a mile at 10:00, giving The Tonight Show no lead-in. Now Leno will move to 11:30 and benefit from a better lead-in at 10, because no matter what they replace him with it will do better than he did. So Leno will be seen as a savior at 11:30 because he sucked so bad at 10.
None of which is Conans fault of course, yet he’s the one who will be made to look like an asshole. I’m surprised NBC even had the decency to tell him before leaking it. I thought they’d just let him find out online, or better yet, print out a copy of the story then roll it around an arrow and shoot him in the chest with it.
why did they wait so long?
Can they get rid of the other asshole Jimmy Falon?
Maybe Conan can go back to the Simpsons and get that show back to being funny.
Where’s the tits please?
This is unfortunate news.
Jimmy Fallon, what a maroon. Fallon is still on TV because you’re talking about the same dumbasses in charge of TV who think Tina Fey is funny.
Someone needs to find out how Jimmy got that job……if anything, fire him.
He was unfunny in SNL , sucks at the movies and is dead on the late late late show..what ever it’s called…
Pfft, this is not relevant to my interests. I watch CBS instead and enjoy Letterman and Ferguson 8-)
does Fallon still suck like he used to? maybe i’m just the only one who didn’t like him hosting that show *shrug*
oh nvm, everyone before me is ripping him too. nice, good to know others agree. this friend of mine is all goo-goo-ga-ga for him too, i dont get why. he sucks lulz
Talk shows suck, they all have the same guest’s doing the same promotional bullshit.
I’m sorry…where are the breasteses-es-es? If I want Leno / O’Brien, I’ll read http://www.variety.com or the entertainment blurb section of any news web page.
T&A, please.
Given the quality of TV now, I am going to develop a new reality show with a camera pointed at an open refrigerator. Everyone will tune it to see when the light will burn out.
It’s cheap to produce and the profit margin will be huge!
And the same lameass band performances…

“Tonight Jay welcomes Robin Williams , LA Lakers star Kobe Bryant , with special musical guests One Republic …. now here’s your host Jayyyyyy Leno!”
.
Yawn. Back to Madden 10.
Scum…Robin Bird’s talk show is a little different…is she around?
Thats some of the dumbest programming shit ever
here is a idea nbc. how about not having fucking 3 talkshows back to fucking back (wait is it four shows counting last call?)
I really hate these fucking ads that start playing automatically on Tyler suddenly. Pisses me off no end.
Sorry, my comment has nothing to do with Conan or Leno or whatever. Leno sucks as much as he ever did. Conan will be probably picked up immediately by a rival network. (For a ginge he is quite good).
