Conan vs. Jimmy: Whose New Show Is Off to the Best Start?
These past few months have been like late-night musical chairs over at NBC: First, Jimmy Fallon took over Conan O'Brien's old Late Night gig. Then, Conan slid into Jay Leno's Tonight Show seat. (Leno will be back in September with a new primetime show.)
Settling into a new late-night show can take some time, so how do you think these two are doing?
Buzz In: Which Comedian Would You Have Wanted at Your Graduation?
Sad. The students at UCLA were trying to get new Los Angeles resident Conan O'Brien to give the commencement speech at their upcoming graduation, but he said "no." I think they were on the right track with a comedian (especially one who has done well with this in the past) instead of an actor, like their earlier choice of James Franco.
Will You Watch Conan O'Brien's First Tonight Show?
Tonight, Conan O'Brien becomes the fifth man to step behind the vaunted desk at NBC's The Tonight Show, taking over the spot from Jay Leno. A while back, many of you said you were ready for a change and wanted to see what Conan could do in the slot. So tell me: Will you be watching tonight's first show?
Summer Reading: Conan Takes On Tonight
I hope you've got big plans to grill up some food and sip some drinks (ideally with little umbrellas) on this Memorial Day, but if you need some light reading to keep you company, I recommend checking out the New York Times Magazine's take on Conan O'Brien. O'Brien, whom a lot of you have been missing these past few months, steps into The Tonight Show's vaunted hosting seat on June 1, and the Times profile explores whether his brand of humor can work on the legendary show.
Writes reporter Lynn Hirschberg:
O’Brien’s approach to comedy and television is analytical and exact.
Have You Been Missing Conan O'Brien?
It wasn't until I saw this new logo for The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien that I truly realized how close we are to getting Conan back on the air. His last Late Night aired way back in February, making way for Jimmy Fallon's version, and now his own transition to The Tonight Show is just about a month away.
All of that got me thinking: Has it been hard to get through these months of late-night TV without Conan O'Brien's goofy humor in the mix?
TV Tonight: Conan O'Brien's Last Late Night
A little more than 15 years ago, Conan O'Brien took over NBC's Late Show desk, filling the seat once occupied by David Letterman. Tonight, he'll say his farewell to studio 6A and start preparing to take over for yet another comedy icon.
O'Brien will start hosting The Tonight Show in June (while Jay Leno moves to primetime), while Jimmy Fallon will take over Late Night on March 2.
The Office Spinoff Lives! Plus More From NBC
It's the last day of sessions here at the TCA press tour, and it's NBC's turn to hawk its wares. Just a few minutes ago, NBC Entertainment Co-Chairman Ben Silverman took the stage to clarify a few things about The Office spinoff (and not-spinoff), the network's plans for late night, and more. Some highlights:
- First and foremost: The show in which Amy Poehler was recently cast is not a spinoff of The Office.
Better Together Than Apart
Be it TV or movies, some pairs and trios create more magic together than they do apart. Sometimes a person's entire career is thanks to someone else with whom they do great work. And sometimes a new pair is born right before our eyes — like the combination of Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr., arguably the key factor in Iron Man's success.

Whose Strike Beard Is Better?
So the late-night hosts returned to TV on Wednesday — some with their writers, some without — for the first time since the start of the writers' strike two months ago. There were a bunch of questions: Would David Letterman and Craig Ferguson get better guests since their shows aren't being picketed? And would people be more likely to watch the shows with writers or the ones without?
