Conan O’Brien to be Replaced by Seinfeld !?!

conan-obrien

According to Entertainment Weekly, this year The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien had its lowest November ratings in 15 years, losing 52% of its viewership as opposed to last year since O’Brien took over for Jay Leno. Could NBC possibly be changing it up if the ratings continue to fall? Apparently so, as rumors are circulating that NBC is reportedly looking for a replacement, beginning informal talks to find a new late night funny man for the time slot.

Per Popeater:

“NBC just can’t carry on like this. ‘The Tonight Show’ has lost 52 percent of its viewership in just one year. The November ratings will be the show’s lowest in 15 years. They would be idiots to not be having the replacement conversation,” a source tells me.

Insiders are saying the one man on top of everyone’s wish list is Jerry Seinfeld. However, getting him to commit is another thing, and that seems to be a longshot. Conan’s people are vehemently denying the speculation.

“Completely false. There are no conversations happening. Conan is the host of the ‘Tonight Show.”

Sounds to me like someones in denial.

It Is Now ‘Jon & Kate Plus 8′ Minus Jon

Now that Kate has Jon out of her life, its about time to get him off her tv show! It a surprising yet hilarious announcement, Jon Gosselin has been dropped from “Jon and Kate Plus 8.” In other words, the womanizer has been fired from the show that made him a household name. The show will simply be renamed “Kate Plus 8.”

Per People:

“Given Jon’s recent antics, there was no way the show could continue to portray him as a doting Dad, not while all this other crap was going on,” a source close to Jon Gosselin tells PEOPLE.

I guess TLC had enough of Jons’ bed hopping and media whoring! After an initial ratings spike last spring when rumors of marital problems came about, the ratings have since dropped steadily after the show started up again in August. Jon won’t be out completely – it is being said he will still continue to to appear on the show, just on a less than regular basis. The show will now focus on their children and Kates’ role as a single mother. Jon has been rumored to be shopping around a reality show about him being a divorced Dad, while Kate recently taped a pilot for a talk show co-starring Food Network star Paula Deen in addition to filling in for Elizabeth Hasselbeck on “The View” during her maternity leave. Jons made it clear in the media lately that he’s less than interested in continuing with the show. But could he be having a change of heart? Jon is currently trying to ‘slow down’ his life a little bit, going as far as to trying to halt the divorce proceedings for 90 days to ‘regain control over the future of our family.’

Per PopEater:

“I regret my conduct since Kate and I separated … I used poor judgment in publicly socializing with other women so soon. Even though we were heading for a divorce, it appeared that Kate had been suffering from this divorce as much as I had. That’s why I asked my attorney to put the brakes on this divorce so I could try to regain control over the future of our family. So Kate and I could join on a cooperative course that would benefit our family — not destroy it,” Jon tells In Touch Weekly. “…it will enable Kate and me to restore our relationship as cooperative parents and to open up our lines of communication. I hope that she will be as receptive and enthusiastic as I am to do what is best for our family.”

Yeah, right Jon. Since when do you care about being a father, as your actions as of late show otherwise? His divorce halting announcement just so happens to coincide with being dropped from the show. Don’t fall for it Kate. A lesser role on the show means less money for Jon. He is just trying to make nice to get his cut of the deal back. He’s worried about being separated from the money not the family.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler Joins Ugly Betty Cast

Jamie-Lynn Sigler

Don’t worry “Ugly Betty” fans, its not as horrible as it sounds! America Ferrera isn’t losing her job as the lovable but quirky Betty. Her character on the show just got a promotion to features editor on the seasons finale, so Daniel is looking for a new assistant! Jamie-Lynn Sigler has been tapped to fill the role, playing the sexy, spiritual and funny new assistant named Natalie.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler, best known for her role as Meadow on “The Sopranos,” will begin airing in the fall. Natalie is a recurring character in the show’s fourth season, but there seems to be a little conflict on when the character will appear. Some reports have the character showing up in the 2 hour season premiere October 9th, others saying Natalie won’t be seen until the second episode. Will she be the one Daniel really leans on as he deals with Molly’s loss?

Jamie-Lynn Sigler is a nice addition to the cast. Ugly Betty needs some boosts so this is a good start. Does this mean she’ll be leaving “Entourage” as Turtles girlfriend? Was she hired to do damage control after Lindsay Lohan’s failed attempts to boost ratings? Hopefully this will improve the writing and this show’s viewership.
