  1. The Tonight Show with Jerry Seinfeld?
]]> What started out as a great accomplishment for a late night talk show host to go primetime is no more.  NBC has announced that the Jay Leno Show will go back to being viewed at 11:35pm.  Many experts believed the show was losing viewers, but it was the financial backlash other industries were receiving.

The biggest issue was that the Jay Leno Show wasn’t leading the viewers into the late news broadcasts.  We wouldn’t blame a solitary soul for switching channels after Jay.  Seriously, who wants to hear about robberies, car accidents, kidnappings, and bad weather after watching Jay?

What does this do for everyone else?  Well, Jimmy Fallon isn’t going to like moving back to a 1am program.  Then of course Conan O’Brian wouldn’t start until 12:05am.  While it all looks great on paper, there are no records of the other two late night hosts agreeing with the issue.  Leno will be back to his normal schedule on Feb. 12th, 2010.

  1. Jay Leno No Longer On Life Support: NBC Pulls The Plug
]]> Conan O’Brien’s ratings have been slipping in recent months so badly that NBC is reportedly looking for a replacement! Popeater reports that network executives have begun informal talks to find a new late night funny man for the time slot.

A source says, “NBC just can’t carry on like this. ‘The Tonight Show has lost 52 percent of its viewership in just one year. The November ratings will be the show’s lowest in 15 years. They would be idiots to not be having the replacement conversation.”

Insiders say the one man on everyone’s wish list is Jerry Seinfeld. But getting him to commit is another thing. Jerry had a hit show on NBC for nine years, but has been off the network since 1998.

Conan’s people are vehemently denying the speculation. NBC spokesperson Drew Shane responded: “Completely false. There are no conversations happening. Conan is the host of the ‘Tonight Show.’”
