Leno vs. Conan vs. NBC- The Saga Continues
NBC suits made it official over the weekend: Jay Leno will be moved from primetime.
‘The Jay Leno Show,’ which has been airing at 10:00 PM EST, will now be pushed back to 11:30 PM EST and shortened to a half hour long with Conan O’Brien following at midnight.
However, the change has made our favorite Ginger-Boy a little angry.
Via The Feed:
“NBC has asked Leno to move to 11:35 p.m. and host a half-hour show, followed by O’Brien’s hourlong “Tonight Show” and Fallon’s one-hour “Late Night.” Leno is expected to agree to the change, though it’s unclear if O’Brien is willing to stay with the network. The comedian has had multiple overtures from networks and on Friday a Fox source called O’Brien ‘a good fit’ for the network.”
Fox has no late-night show of its own.
So far, Conan has kept mum on his feelings regarding the change in the line-up. However, I have a feeling he’s going to be spotted by paps leaving Chateau Marmont on the arm of Rupert Murdoch any day now.
