Looks like Irish American funnyman Conan O'Brien has lost his battle with Jay Leno on NBC.TMZ is reporting that Jay will return to his 11.30 p.m. slot after the network finishes up broadcasting the Winter Olympics (seriously, who watches that?!).
NBC sources are tight-lipped on what that means for Conan.
It could be that Jay's show will just be 30 minutes in which case Conan will follow him or, worst case scenario, Jay's show will go to 60 minutes and it's curtains for Conan.
TMZ says Jay and Conan have both been made aware of the changes.
Hmm. Wonder who sought those changes out in the first place.

I like Jay Leno very much. He however did not give Conan a fair chance. His 10-p.m. show is the pitts. He wanted to retire and that is what he should have done. I think Jay has had it.!!!!

I'm glad. I like Leno but was not willing to give up the regular dramas at 10 PM. I'll be glad to see Leno back on after the news. Never watch O'Brien-think his humor like Letterman's is very immature. Hope they keep Leno and that adorable Jimmy Fallon who is warm and funny.

Who watches the Winter Olympics? You've got to be kidding. America's greatest ever Olympics moment, possibly the greatest sports moment in American history, was at the 1980 winter games.
The scenery is generally spectacular - wonder what British Columbia will look like in Feb - and the sports are fun, if mostly esoteric pursuits of snow-bound Europeans.

My favourite show is Craig Ferguson, so I don't care what happens to these two.
I will be watching the Winter Olympics (seriously).

Don't watch either one, so I couldn't care less except for
the ancillaries whose jobs will be impacted.

Conan O'Brien is NOT funny at all; at least Jay Leno is funny and relates his opening monologue to headlines form papers or actual events and people. Good change!

It's too bad. I think Conan is really funny and inventive. Leno relies on too much political humor and asking people questions with ridiculous answers, for my liking.

I could care less. Can't stand Leno, and O'Brien is rarely funny.
