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).

Lohan Pokes Fun at Jessica Simpson
Originally posted 05/23/2005 10:00AM
MOCKED: On this weekend's Saturday Night Live, host Lindsay Lohan poked fun at Jessica Simpson in a skit lampooning Simpson's remaining chaste until she married Nick Lachey. With Will Forte playing Lachey, Lohan (as Simpson) quipped: "Remember a long time ago how we made out to 'Purple Rain,' when I did not lose my virginity?" Not that the Nick & Jessica were the evening's only target. Series regular Amy Poehler appeared in a puff of smoke as the ghost of Lohan's future and warned the Mean Girls actress: "Lindsay, your life is moving too fast! You gotta slow it down. I'm you. I've come from the future to tell you, you gotta cool it with the partying 'cause I'm totally beat!" In the current PEOPLE, Lohan, 18, attributes her slimmer figure to a new exercise routine. "I'm working out. I just got a trainer," she says. "Just old-school working out."

WEEK IN REVIEW: Conan to Take Over for Jay
Originally posted 10/01/2004 03:40PM
TONIGHT SHIFT: Jay Leno, who's hosted NBC's Tonight Show since May 25, 1992, will surrender his desk to Late Night host Conan O'Brien in 2009, Leno announced on Monday's 50th anniversary episode of his nighttime talk show. " I promised (my wife) Mavis I would take her out for dinner before I turned 60," said Leno. O'Brien, 41, signed a new contract with the network that will keep him at the helm of his current show (which he has hosted for 11 years) until he takes over the new gig.

WEEK IN REVIEW: Katie Keeps Us Awake
Originally posted 05/16/2003 01:00AM
COURIC COUNTS: Monday's job swap between "Today" host Katie Couric, 47, and her "Tonight Show" counterpart, Jay Leno, proved a ratings bonanza for her, and something of a letdown for him. The a.m. sweetheart drew 42 percent more viewers than usually tune in for Leno's late-night antics and the highest numbers for "Tonight" since May 2000, according to Nielsen Media Research. At the same time, Monday's ratings for "Today" were barely affected by the appearance of Leno, 53.
