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.

you would jump ship from a guaranteed 7figure/yr contract?
If I had other options, yep. I'm not saying I'd run to a $50k job, but Eubanks has options to make significant amounts of money doing what he loves. He also likely has the money to retire today if he wanted to.

Me neither, new episode of Top Gear! woot


In all honestly, I just remembered Leno is back on tonight from this thread. Haven't watched NBC since The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien ended. The second that final show was over, I stopped watching NBC.

I liked it last night.

It wasn't perfect, but by god it wasn't as horrible as Fallon.

Well considering what else was on and the fact he was competing with David Letterman, who I find to be as bad as Fallon....

I don't get why you're bitching. We've already been down the "I like Leno, you don't, and I don't give a fark" path.

The show last night was good. Like I said, not perfect, but it was funny, which is the point. I watched Fallon's show, and never once laughed.

Eubanks wants out of tv so that he can tour and get back in the studio. At least that's the party line, it wouldn't surprise me if he didn't like the move that Leno made in taking back the show. If I worked for Jay and I had other options, I'd jump ship too.
If Eubanks leaves, I bet it'll turn out to be a bad career move on his part. Look how badly Andy Richter suffered when he left Conan's show the 1st time. Years later, he came back - well, at least for 7 mos. laugh out loud We'll see if he rides Conan's coattails wherever O'Brien ends up.

I recorded yesterday's Leno show but haven't watched it yet.

I don't agree... it's not the same thing... Kevin Eubanks is a very talented musician... he will be just fine. Andy Richter was a comedian that didn't have much experience, (or talent... although I do think he's funny)
Eubanks has a talent, and could go on tours, work on soundtracks for movies etc. I'm sure the job offers would be rolling in... or maybe he's even leaving for a better job anyway.

Did we forget about Branford Marsalis? Tonight show band leader from '92-'95 was just a small "blip" in his amazing career.



on another note... "the Chin" is terrible I watched it just to confirm that the show sucked.. (and I watched it to catch Lindsey Vonn of course!)OMGheart
