This late night war is starting to get absolutely ridiculous.  In case you don’t know what’s going on, after Jay Leno left the Tonight Show, Conan O’Brien took over.  It was a transition that had been in the works for years but just before the switch, rumors started circulating about Leno not wanting to relinquish his seat.
Now, it’s been less than a year and NBC is making a huge mess of things.  They’ve canceled the variety show they had given Leno and now they want him to have some crappy half hour show at 11:35pm which would bump Conan to …read more

Talk show host, Jay Leno will be returning to his previous slot on late night television with The Jay Leno Show and things are really changing on NBC.

According to Variety, Conan won the ratings race for his first 13 nights in the 18-49 demographic and averaged 2.013 million viewers.  Compared the the 1.126 million who tuned in to Letterman, the margin of victory is the largest NBC has seen in the five-plus years since the frame of the Friends finale in May 2004.

Conan O’Brien is set to take over NBC’s The Tonight Show on June 1, 2009 and I’m pretty excited. I’ve been a fan of his since his humble beginnings as a late-night talk show host but I have often wondered how we would make the transition to the earlier time-slot since, I’m guessing, he would be expected to be more subdued than he has been.
