BREAKING: Conan O’Brien Out, Jay Leno In as Host of Tonight Show
TMZ is reporting that Jay Leno is getting his one-hour, 11:35pm show back and it will be called, The Tonight Show, which means Conan O’Brien is out of a job. Wait – didn’t Leno already leave The Tonight Show to much fanfare? It’s kind of like having a big going-away party for someone who decides not to leave town. All you’re left with is resentment, a dirty apartment and a bunch of leftover hors d’oeuvres.
Sources say that the deal is still being finalized, but that it’s a sure thing if Conan O’Brien leaves the network — which he made obvious he is set to do in a statement he released today.
TMZ is also quoting a source as saying that Jay and Conan have not spoken with each other since the whole debacle got started. In other words, don’t expect these two to be having a sleepover and exchanging BFF bracelets anytime soon.
But it looks like Conan may not have much down time to kick back with his wife and kids on the beach – sources are saying that he’s already making a deal with Fox for a late night show from 11:00 PM to midnight.

[...] On Tuesday evenings’ Tonight Show, Conan jokingly introduced the show saying, “My name is Conan O’Brien and I may soon be available for children’s parties.” He also added that when he was a kid, he recalled “watching Johnny Carson and thinking, someday I’m going to host that show for seven months.” [...]

It’s Confirmed! Conan Is Out and He'll Be Richer For It | Famecrawler commented on Jan 15 10 at 12:16 amJohnny Mack commented on Jan 12 10 at 10:49 pmdid anyone expect anything other than this? this is the second time leno has robbed the show from the back door. NBC is retarded. What’s gonna happen in another 5 years?
EB commented on Jan 12 10 at 11:19 pmCONAN IS SOOO FUNNY, 100 X BETTER THAN LENO’S SHOW AND WAY MORE CREATIVE. LENO IS JUST CREEPY,Look at his eyes and that smirk on his face, yech! My question is: What does he have on those NBC execs? Is he hiding in a closet again listening in on their meetings (like he did the first time to get leverage to lobby for the tonight show)?
That’s how he screwed Letterman out of the chance. I think he’s not as “nice” as the “public face” he puts on, and I bet he plays hardball. So what’s the dirt he has on the execs, that he’s using as leverage? Because ANYONE else would have been let go or fired by now!! Something smells fishy about all this.
If they give him the show, I am sooo boycotting it and exclusively watching Conan (with some Letterman ‘sprinkled in’). “GO COCO, GO…WE’RE WITH YOU! Hope you stay right where you are, but if not, we’ll watch any show you do. Good luck!!
