Conan O'Brien

We don't know what shocks us more:

David Letterman's bizarre on-air confession-turned comedy routine?

Or that it was an Emmy-award winning producer of the CBS news magazine 48 Hours who was arrested and charged with attempted grand larceny for allegedly attempting to use Letterman's now-acknowledged sexual relationships with staff members to extort $2 million from him?

Don't ever count Jay Leno out. After he was rather unceremoniously dumped from his job as host of The Tonight Show and replaced by Conan O'Brien, we all just thought he'd go back to collecting cars, shining his chin, or doing whatever it is he does when he's not on television. Instead his new primetime show on NBC debuted last night to huge numbers.

Yes, even more Brüno news! Sascha Baron Cohen continued promotion in character as Brüno last night on the Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.

Watch the interview here.

We fully expected Jimmy Fallon’s debut in Conan’s slot on NBC to be tragically terrible.

But it wasn’t.

Partially, he has his buddy Justin Timberlake to thank for that since nothing is ever bad when insanely talented Baby Daddy JT is in the house, but Jimmy also has a fun, affable, slightly spazzy delivery that we dug. After months of anticipating the worst, we were pleasantly surprised.

He was even able to make Robert DeNiro chuckle.

Welcome to late night, Fallon.

We look forward to falling asleep to you for years to come.

Oh snap!

Earlier this year it was announced that Jay Leno had been rather unceremoniously dumped from the Tonight Show to make room for Conan O’Brien who had grown tired of his late late night slot. While many expected Leno to slink into oblivion once his enforced retirement took hold, The New York Times is saying NBC is going to announce that Leno is staying at the network.

Late night television is getting a lot less interesting.

We’re gonna have to deal with Jimmy Fallon taking over for Conan O’Brien next May (blech) and now comedian George Lopez is primed to host his own late-night talk show which has yet to find a network home.

Formerly, Lopez starred in the Sandra Bullock-produced The George Lopez Show and even though the sitcom was cancelled in 2007 after a five-year run (like Two and a Half Men, we don't get it), it’s been a huge success in syndication.

The last day of Jay Leno’s Tonight Show hosting tenure will be May 29th, 2009.

His successor, as previously announced, will be Conan O’Brien, whose first night as Tonight Show host will be the following Monday, June 1st. Jimmy Fallon will be taking over for Conan…which has disaster written all over it.

This is why she's a supermodel!

Heidi “The Mighty” Klum struts down Bank Street in all her glory on her way to shot an appearance on Conan O’Brien as the fifth season of Project Runway premieres on Bravo tomorrow.

Yay Project Runway! Make it work!

Heidi’s is a vision in her dominatrix-meets-Matrix look, mirrored shades and Christian Louboutin heels. This is why they pay her the big bucks.

Jimmy Fallon has just been handed the Conan O’Brien baton. Speculation is over and the announcement has been made. Late Night with Jimmy Fallon begins in 2009.

We’re interested to see if he sinks or swims.

Good luck, Jimmy. Try to keep a straight face. And congratulations.

Somewhere, Jay Leno is crying on the hood of one of his cars.
