The Tonight Show
Jay Leno has been missing from TV screens across the world for just over three weeks now. And Monday, he will reappeared, reports the CBC.
Nine-teen days ago, NBC cancelled Leno’s own prime-time show. It has also been nine months since Leno has given up his position at the “Tonight Show,” to Conan O’Brien. But now, Leno is back to reclaim his old position on the “Tonight Show.”
Since Leno is back, the late-night war once again begins with CBS opponent David Letterman. Letterman dominated the ratings during O’Brien’s brief appearance as the “Tonight Show” host.
But, Leno ruled the late night for much of the 17 years he was with the “Tonight Show,” and NBC is hoping that he will be comfortable in his desk chair, once again.

Jay Leno is “embarrassed.” The late night comedian appeared on Oprah to talk about the late night controversy at NBC. Jay told Oprah, “Anything they did would have been better than this,” which took place on the set of his current show. “Anything. Anything they did. If they’d come in and shot everybody, I mean, it would have been people murdered, but at least it would have been a two-day story. Yes, NBC could not have handled it worse, from 2004 onward. This whole thing was a huge, huge mess.”

Jay Leno will be returning next week to host the show.
Oprah Winfrey is interviewing Leno in Los Angeles for her Thursday show and has invited O’Brien to participate. It has not been reported whether he will accept her offer.
“As I set off for exciting new career opportunities, I just want to make one things clear to everyone listening out there: I will do nudity,” he said in his final monologue.

Conan O’Brien’s settlement deal is in the homestretch, but there are a couple of hangups still left to be ironed out. One of the issues is how long Conan needs to keep his mouth shut about NBC (which is pretty funny). In this contract NBC wants Conan to sign, they are basically saying that he cannot badmouth NBC for a certain period of time. Apparently this is a real issue for Conan (and why he has been so funny recently) so the lawyers are going back and forth about finding a reasonable resolution.
