1. New York Times is reporting the Conan deal is all but finalized, freeing him (and paying him). Deal will allow Conan to return to the air in September: http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/17/conan-deal-is-immiment-key-details-all-worked-out/
2. Looks like Fox has gone ahead and purchased the conanonfox.com domain name: http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/conanonfox.com
3. Finally – and bestest of all, for your personal video enjoyment, here’s Jay Leno himself handing over the reins of the Tonight Show “Dynasty” to Mr. O’Brien, courtesy of Funny or Die:
Jay’s 2004 Announcement – watch more funny videos
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
How could you Jay, after all these years and looking forward to the FUNNIEST MAN ON TELEVISION taking over your show, take it back after just 7 months. Why oh why. Conan was always funnier than you. But you took your followers with you when you moved to the earlier slot on the same station. How would you have done if Carson had moved to the 9:00 slot when he gave you the reins.
I hate you Leno.
But the good thing is, I have always loved Fox, and can’t wait to see Coco get his groove on over there.
