Jay Leno is going back to his 11:30 PM time slot, and it's looking like Conan O'Brien is the odd man out ... sources tell TMZ.



We've learned Jay's 10:00 PM show will go on hiatus February 1. After the Olympics, Jay will take back his 11:30 PM time slot. What has not been decided -- whether Jay's show will be a half hour, followed by Conan, or whether Jay's show will be an hour and NBC says sayonara to Mr. O'Brien.

We're told Jay and Conan have both been told of the changes. As for Jay, interestingly, he'll get what he always wanted -- his 11:30 PM time slot.

there's no way that can be true

[Shotfrog]

Even though I don't watch either program, I'm angry about this.

[Johan POOPLER]

this is gonna have a huge impact on everyone, at least until someone invents the internet

[fester]

I'm boycotting doritos over this.

[Bananafish]

Don't think this is true.
It would be too spectacularly stupid and NBC would be destroyed by the press and the history books. Carson would come back from the grave to strangle each and every network exec.

[Zurich]

no fucking way, that would be so awful

[Klint]

With Conan O'Brien ratings slipping faster than Tiger Woods' endorsement appeal, TV executives are telling me that informal discussions have started to occur within 30 Rock as to who would be the home-run replacement for the hysterical but sagging redhead. The name on everyone's wish list? Jerry Seinfeld.

"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.

[slime]

jeez. maybe cbs will take him

[solomon panaflex]

it's true, the idiots that love leno really don't like the more intelligent, funny, and relevant conan. leno is safe and reminds people of when tv didn't try to be more than a box with a light.

[Sam Bash]

Put Carson Daly on at 11:30.

His show was good during the writers strike, he didn't know what the hell to do. He showed a local bartender mixing drinks for 15 minutes one night and then interviewed him afterward.

[Klint]

I feel really bad for not watching Conan now.

let me help you off your high horse.

[The Dirty Turtle]

regardless of whether or not this is true, conan was never really a good fit to take over the tonight show audience.

[Erik Joy]

I hadn't been following this. Didn't realize the tonight show was eating shit.

[kranky]

i watch conan every day and i laugh sometimes. FUCK YOU NBC!

[kranky]

also maybe this jay leno guy is funny maybe i'll check him out.

[cooly]

i'd probably watch sometimes it if seinfeld got the show, and then conan went back to late night

[grammatron]

more like Jay Lame-o, amirite?

[fester]

brush up on some current events first:

bill clinton is a philanderer
oj simpson is a murderer
michael jackson is a child molester

[kranky]

MULVA? lol her names was mrs. boobs or something

[jewels]

[Big Gay Baby]

brush up on some current events first:

bill clinton is a philanderer
oj simpson is a murderer
michael jackson is a child molester

you want norm macdonald to take over?

[Klint]

Some sites are saying NBC is looking at Jon Stewart. It's like that episode of The Larry Sanders Show.

[kranky]

how did jerry not remember a name like mrs. boobs

[Asian Santa Baby]

based on this thread i say they should give all four slots to kranky

Mrs. Kranky felt the same way.

[kranky]

you stay away from most of those slots, you jerk

[kranky]

she said i was the only one through four...

[Asian Santa Baby]

I'll leave the fourth slot to you.

[kranky]

carson daly's not going to like that.
