Jay Leno

Poor Jay and poor Conan. Wonder what will happen after the Olympics?

NBC on Sunday confirmed that its experiment in running a five nights per week talk show in primetime will end next month. The final episode of “The Jay Leno Show” will be Thursday, February 11th, before NBC begins its coverage of the Winter Olympics on February 12th.

Still to be determined is what the NBC lineup will look like after the Olympics. Leno has apparently agreed to go back to his old start time of 11:35 pm ET/PT, following late local news. If NBC programmers get their wishes, the new late night Leno show will be a half hour, followed by Conan O’Brien at five minutes past midnight. However, as noted by RBR-TVBR, contracts come into play and O’Brien apparently has the right to walk rather than accept the rescheduling. NBC Universal Television Entertainment Chairman Jeff Gaspin told critics in Los Angeles Sunday that talks with O’Brien were ongoing. The word on the street is that he’d already been talking to Fox about jumping there to do a late night show.

The rest of the NBC late night lineup would have Jimmy Fallon following O’Brien at 1:05 am. That would leave Carson Daly without his current slot at 1:35 am, but Gaspin insisted that Daly would stay with NBC in some capacity. Of course, if O’Brien jumps ship, it would likely be a Leno-Fallon-Daly lineup.

If I had a TV that would be good news.

It would be nice if NBC could come up with something other than Law and Order spinoffs.

NBC announced that they are hiring James Cameron to do a live action 3D, Imax show with Johnny Carson and Ed Mcmahon to replace JL.

THey will star as dead humans who go to earth and try to save the planet from Law and Order spinoffs in prime time.

The name of the new series is called Dead Air!

When Johnny left the Tonight Show ended.

I heard about all the complaining that these two 'jokers' are doing, I hope they are employed for a good while, I'd hate to see them have to file to get unemployment.

Half the country is hurting and we have to pay attention to an effing sissy complain about what time his shift/show starts? AND HE DOESN"T EVEN DO THE SHOW LIVE!!!

Pay me 40 milion dollars to leave and I'll kiss your rear everyday, for a month.


The check has to clear, first!
