Now It's Conan vs. Dave in the Late-Night Battle
Originally posted 06/02/2009 06:05AM
It's a new day in late night, and it has a new King of Cool. As Jay Leno's successor, Conan O'Brien assumed the reins of NBC's Tonight Show on Monday, in case anyone missed that newsflash.
"At least I know the 'Applause' sign works," the lanky redhead declared in his opening monologue after a prolonged ovation. "I've timed this moment perfectly," he added. "Think about it: I'm on a last place network, I moved to a state that's bankrupt and tonight's show is sponsored by General Motors."

Jay & Conan Get Silly About Leno's Primetime Plunge
Originally posted 12/09/2008 08:00PM
What's so funny about Jay Leno going to primetime?
Everything, according to the outgoing Tonight Show host and his late-night replacement, Conan O'Brien.
"We're going to be doing a new show in the fall," Leno said in his monologue Tuesday. "We'll start at 10 p.m. right after the last hour of the Today show.
And, he added, "As you may have heard there were rumblings that I was leaving NBC and going to ABC, and let me tell you something, those were nothing but rumors started by a disgruntled employee: ME!"
NBC announced that Leno will stay with the struggling network and host a new primetime comedy/talk show five nights a week starting in the fall of 2009.
"We're going to try it," Leno said later in the show. "If it works, great. If it doesn't, we've had a hell of a ride. For the last 17 years, it's been a privilege to say, 'Please stay tuned for Conan,' and I'm glad I'll be able to do that again."

It's official! After he leaves The Tonight Show, Jay Leno will keep America laughing – an hour and half earlier.
On Tuesday, NBC announced that Leno will stay with the network and host a new primetime comedy/talk show five nights a week starting in the fall of 2009. The one-hour show will air at 10 p.m., making it the first program of its kind to be featured on primetime on a broadcast network.
"Just when I think I'm out, they pull me back in," Leno jokingly told reporters at a press conference in Los Angeles Tuesday.

Conan O'Brien is already getting ready for his move to L.A. next year, when he's expected to take over for Jay Leno on The Tonight Show – by buying a 10.5 million home in Brentwood, Calif., the Los Angeles Times reports.
The TV host's new pad is a New England style six-bedroom home in a gated compound. The master suit includes a sitting room, balcony and two bathrooms, the paper says.
Other amenities at the 44-year-old star's new home include a screening room, expansive views, a 1,500-bottle wine room, a pool, spa, library, 10-foot ceilings and six fireplaces.
The star currently hosts Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

David Letterman, Jay Leno Set to Go on Hold?
Originally posted 11/03/2007 06:25PM
David Letterman, Jay Leno, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Conan O’Brien may have to button their lips come Monday – due to the proposed strike of the Writers Guild of America.
If the issues of money that divide the two sides – the writers on one side, producers on the other – do not get resolved by then, all talk shows will have to go into reruns or be taken off the air temporarily (as will any programming that requires newly-written material, such as sitcoms, dramas and made-for-TV movies).
