Leno's 'Tonight Show' now trailing Letterman in the ratings So...what's the bottom line? That Leno and Letterman are running neck-and-neck right now. Back when Leno was originally in charge of the "Tonight Show" desk, he was regularly slaughtering Letterman in the ratings. It wasn't like Dave was pulling down UPN numbers, but it certainly wasn't this close. These days, Leno's having to fight a lot harder to stay ahead in the ratings. And, with those numbers dropping every day, it's likely that we'll see Letterman at the top of the heap by the end of this week.

March 13, 201016 yr I have to say, when Conan left the air I had a big late night void. Until I started watching Craig Ferguson. I love him.

The biggest reason I was so excited originally when Conan moved to 10:35 was that I wouldn't have to deal with switching back and forth between he and Ferguson, because they were the two best guys in late night by a mile.
March 14, 201016 yr I've never really watched Craig Ferguson, but it's weird how people have polar opposite views on him.
March 15, 201016 yr MiddleBuffalo Actually, Sting disappeared at the start of the second set and we wondered if he disliked the concert that much, but then FZ comes out and introduces "Mr. Sting" who then does a killer version of Murder by Numbers (dedicated to Jimmy Swaggert) with the Zappa band (full horns and all) backing him. The track appeared on the Broadway the Hard Way, and is included below for your dancing and dining pleasure. Edited March 15, 201016 yr by FlaSoxxJim
March 23, 201016 yr Conan Barred From 'American Idol' By NBC Agreement Conan O'Brien is in talks with Fox, but he won't be allowed on the network's biggest hit show. The Hollywood Reporter's Nellie Andreeva and James Hibberd report that Conan was approached to appear on "Idol Gives Back," the "American Idol" charity special set to air on April 21. However, his exit agreement with NBC bars him from appearing on television until May 1, and THR reports that NBC said he could not appear on the charity special. The "Idol" offer is unrelated to Conan's talks with Fox for a late-night show. One place Conan will for sure appear is the stage: he will embark on a 30-city theater tour in which he promises audiences "a night of music, comedy, hugging and the occasional awkward silence." The show is called the "Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television Tour." See tour dates and locations here. Interestingly, as Andreeva and Hibberd point out, the tour may help Conan seal a deal with Fox affiliates: his tour passes through the top nine television markets in the country, and his schedule is coincidentally open on May 17, the day of Fox's upfront presentation to advertisers.

He thinks he got screwed. http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/showbiz/2...P1&iref=NS1 I know, I just read the text on it, couldn't stomach to watch the video... at this point Leno needs to drop it. He'll have his strong numbers his demographics, he'll never be strong in the younger demographics that Conan does well in and he'll never be considered a legendary host like Carson... just save face and ride off into the sunset for the next few years
