Mondo Times editors Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 9:55pm on Saturday, May 30th, 2009 | Jay Leno's last appearance on The Tonight Show was on May 29, 2009. Conan O'Brien takes over on June 1.
Burbank, CA - For seventeen years, Jay Leno hosted The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, but on May 29, Leno will move on to other things, including The Jay Leno Show on NBC. Taking over for Leno on June 1 will be veteran talk show host, Conan O'Brien who will be moving to Stage 1 on the Universal Studios lot, just outside of Burbank.
The format of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien will remain similar, with celebrity and musical guests, monologue, and skits, but O'Brien will add his own unique spin on things, which is what he did as host of Late Night with Conan O'Brien.

Eric Kallgren Boulder Colorado USA | Posted at 10:38pm on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 | NBC went to Oprah Winfrey before Jay Leno for a prime time show, TV Week reported on May 19, 2009:
"Before deciding to put Jay Leno in prime time, NBC offered its 8 p.m. timeslot to Oprah Winfrey.
NBC Universal CEO Jeff Zucker said that the notion of Oprah having a nightly show in prime time wasn’t a new idea.
NBC talked to Ms. Winfrey about two years ago, Mr. Zucker said. She passed but said she might have considered it earlier in her career, he said. NBC also discussed an 8 p.m. show with David Letterman when the “Late Show” host’s contract was coming up at CBS."

Mondo Times editors Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 11:54pm on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009 | Disgraced former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich will not star in an NBC reality TV show, TV Week reported on April 21, 2009:
"A state judge has nixed impeached Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's attempt to appear on NBC's summer reality show "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here."
According to MSNBC, the Illinois judge in the case turned down the request because he believed Mr. Blagojevich wasn't taking his criminal case seriously and because he needs to participate in his own defense.
The rejection came even though NBC and Granada America had agreed to pay to have retired U.S. marshals guard Mr. Blagojevich, MSNBC reported. The ex-governor also had agreed to give up any extradition rights; the show is being filmed in Costa Rica."
