The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien has officially been laid to rest. Conan O’Brien hosted his final show last night.
After a 17 year run with NBC, O’Brien was forced to leave. O’Brien hosted Late Night with Conan O’Brien from 1993-2009 before he went on to his dream job as host of The Tonight Show. Prior to that, Jay Leno hosted The Tonight Show from 1992-2009. After only 7 months with O’Brien as host and poor ratings, NBC decided to replace O’Brien with Jay Leno. Although O’Brien’s fans have been pissed off at Leno and NBC, Leno decided to take the show back. This past week Conan O’Brien has had huge ratings and has even beat his competitor David Letterman.
Tom Hanks, Steve Carell, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Neil Young, Robin Williams, Adam Sandler, Pee-Wee Herman, and Barry Manilow are some of the celebrities that have stopped by O’Brien’s show this week to wish him well. Even though we all feel bad for Conan and are going to miss him, he did walk away with a $40 million severance package.
His last show was a bit somber. He was sad, and viewers could tell. Conan is an amazing talent. This won’t be the end of Conan. O’Brien was the valedictorian of his high school, and he graduated magna cum laude from HARVARD! The dude graduated from Harvard with two degrees: History and Literature.
Funny & Intelligent…WOW…his wife lucked out!
We wish you all the luck, Conan! We will miss you every second you are gone!!

The Battle between Conan O’Brien & Jay Leno finally gets an full stop now. The expected departure ends a nearly two-week public spectacle that engulfed NBC, after the network tried to displace Mr. O’Brien with Jay Leno. Jay Leno wins the battle and he gets back 11:30 pm Show
Conan O’Brien signs $32.5 million deal to walk away from his dream job hosting NBC’s "The Tonight Show," bringing down the curtain on one of the entertainment industry’s biggest debacles in years.
The comedian’s exit agreement, which could be completed as early as Tuesday, bars Mr. O’Brien from bad mouthing his former NBC bosses, according to people familiar with the matter, but paves the way for him to land another television gig within a year.
In return, we’ve learned Conan has agreed to sit on the bench until September. Translation — he can’t host another show until the fall.

Under Jimmy Kimmel
Jay Leno’s show will be canceled, and he has signed a contract to come back and host ’The Tonight Show.’ Which means what? Conan O’Brien is out of a job!
Late night talk show hosts have been having a field day with all of this. Conan O’Brien has been handing out zingers every night, David Letterman is as giddy as a school girl, and Jimmy Kimmel even dressed up as Leno and poked fun at the situation. Unfortunately, the laughter is just covering up the unfairness Conan is going through. O’Brien was promised ’The Tonight Show.’ Within 7 months of hosting, NBC has gone into panic mode because he hasn’t gotten the ratings that Leno used to get. Although during the past week, O’Brien’s ratings have surged while Leno’s have actually gone down!
Last night on ’The Jay Leno Show’, Jimmy Kimmel had a guest appearance on the “10 At 10.” If you aren’t familiar with that, I will explain. (I assume an explanation is needed since nobody really watches Leno’s show). Leno asks 10 questions that are fairly benign, the celebrity who is appearing via satellite answers them. It’s like having the celebrity there, but ummm not! Anyway, last night, Kimmel was the celebrity on “10 At 10.” He basically took his answer time to roast Leno mercilessly. It was unbelievably uncomfortable and embarrassing for Leno. Although he tried to answer SOME of the questions honestly, most of them pertained to the Jay and Conan fued.
When Leno asked, “If you got to interview anyone in the world, who would it be? Kimmel replied, “You and Conan together.” Then, it went downhill from there. Leno asked Kimmel, “What’s the best prank you’ve ever pulled?” Kimmel answered with painting his aunts house orange and green and then added, “I told a guy that five years from now, I’m gonna give you my show. And then when the five years came. I gave it to him, and then I took it back almost instantly.”
When Leno asked Kimmel how many strip dances he has ever received, Kimmel responded with, “Strippers, I don’t like in general. Because you have this phony relationship with them for money, similar to when you and Conan were on The Tonight Show together, passing the torch.” Leno asked Kimmel, “What would you like to host that you haven’t yet?” Kimmel said, ” Oh this is a trick, right? Where you get me to host the Tonight Show and then take it back from me? Listen Lucy I’m not Charlie Brown I don’t fall for that trick.”
Plus, at the very end, Kimmel tells Leno, “Listen Jay, Conan and I have children. All you have to take care of are cars. I mean we have lives to lead here. You’ve got 800 million dollars. Leave our shows alone!!”
Conan is winning in the fan department. What NBC and Leno are doing to him are awful. I hope Leno fails. Conan O’Brien is brilliantly funny, and I think FOX should take this opportunity to pick him up! Unfortunately, Kimmel’s jokes are a sad reality. He speaks the truth. Leno sucks!
Team COCO!

Under Megan Fox
If you missed Megan Fox on “The Jay Leno Show” last week you really didn’t miss anything at all. Sure, Megan looked like the token hot chick, but that’s her thing. In fact, while Jay was interviewing Megan I saw a glimmer in his eye that was reminiscent of the way David Letterman would look at his staffers! But, maybe it was just me? In other Megan Fox news, the “Transformers” star is currently vacationing in Hawaii, so if we’re lucky maybe we will get to see her in a thong or something less. And word on the street is that she is looking forward to an engagement ring from her boyfriend, Brian Austin Green. If you hear Megan Fox got engaged, remember that you heard it hear first.

Last night, Chelsea Handler appeared on The Jay Leno Show. It was a rather boring appearance until the very end when Leno surprised Handler by unveiling her Playboy cover.
It was soooo obvious the photo had been photoshopped! Chelsea joked that she had quit drinking “for a day” to get in shape for her photo shoot. However, after the photo was revealed, she said, “We need the guy that airbrushed me to come back.”
I think Chelsea was really caught off guard. I think she realized that the photo looked nothing like her in a bikini! Obviously, she HAD to make a comment about the airbrushing!

Jay Leno plays smarter plot, he claims that he never had sex with his staff. But we don’t know yet until you too get involved into similar scandal
On his prime time show Friday, Jay Leno joked about the $2 million sexual extortion plot against David Letterman.
"Settle down," he began. "If you came here tonight for sex with a talk show host, you’ve got the wrong studio.
"What is going on? First Conan [O'Brien] hits his head, and then somebody tried to extort money from Letterman," Leno, 59, continued. "I’m so glad I’m out of late night."
He then joked that he was once the victim of an extortion plot. "How do you think NBC got me to do a 10 o’clock show?" he quipped.
Referring to Robert "Joe" Halderman (Letterman’s alleged blackmailer and a 48 Hours producer), Leno said, "It could have been worse - at least it wasn’t a producer from To Catch a Predator. That would have been bad."
Leno concluded his monologue by telling his audience, "I’m happy to say that I’ve never had a sexual relationship with any of my staff members."
Jimmy Fallon also made a jab on his late night show Friday.
"There’s a new book out called Why Women Have Sex that says there are 237 reasons why women have sex. And, folks, Letterman knows the top 10."
