NBC Shakeup -- Jay Leno Comes Out on Top [tmz.com]

Quote :
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.
No words on what will happen to Conan and Fallon... whether they both will get pushed back one hour of if one of them will be fired.

I prefer Leno at 11:30 than 10:00.

Conan O'Brien's last 'Tonight Show' grabs big ratings [zap2it.com]

Quote from Andrea Reiher :
Conan O'Brien left "The Tonight Show" on a high note -- in more ways than one.

Not only did Conan welcome three great guests to his show in Steve Carell, Tom Hanks and Neil Young, but he got Will Ferrellto send him off with an off-tune but very fun rendition of "Freebird." Who knew Conan could wail on the guitar like that?

But in addition to all the fanfare and heartfelt speeches, the show brought in monster ratings and the monster ratings carried over into "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon."

Late Night Show Ratings:

NBC: "The Tonight Show" 7.0 rating/16 share
NBC: "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" 3.3/10
CBS: "Late Show with David Letterman" 2.5/5
CBS: "Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" 1.5/4
ABC: "Jimmy Kimmel Live" 1.3/4

A ratings point represents about 1.15 million households, or 1% of the estimated 115 million TV homes in the U.S. This means that approximately 8 million viewers tuned in to watch Conan's last broadcast, beating the high-water mark of 7.1 million viewers Conan garnered for his "Tonight Show" premiere.

Conan also won the coveted 18-49 demographic with a 4.8 rating among viewers in that age range. In contrast, Letterman scored a 0.6 in the 18-49 demo.

These numbers are all preliminary. The final numbers for last night will be available. Jan. 28.

I wouldn't read too much into that. People just kept watching after Conan's show was over. Probably were hoping to see some kind of tribute to him or something.

I would totally rather watch Letterman over Fallon. The only thing that bothers me about Letterman's show is Paul Farking Schaeffer. So annoying!!! All his lead-ins/jingles for the show's bits are the same: he yells it and then ends it with "YAHHHHHH!!!!!" Angry and the Top Ten lists are dumb. Otherwise, I think Letterman's a funny guy and is great at interviewing the guests.

That was me Big Grin I watched the first 10 minutes or so in Fallon's show. Then it got weird with the "Lick random sh*t for $10" bit. It wasn't funny..just...odd.

Same with me. I just can't bare to watch his show. It's too bad for him, because he seems like a really good and genuine guy, but his show is just terrible.

NBC: Are you listening?

Here's how to make Fallon's show NOT SUCK
a.) Get him to make cracks about how much you suck for kicing out Conan'
b.) Add the Bugatti Veyron Mouse to the show, and change Fallon's opening theme song to the RollingStones "Satisfaction"
c.) Many random insults to Jay Leno for being a douchebag.
d.) Profit!!

Make it so, and I will watch it Big Grin
