Leno at 10: Late Night Reacts
When first we heard the shocking announcement Monday about Jay Leno's move to NBC's 10 p.m. slot next year, we half-expected Conan O'Brien to storm the Tonight Show set and beat Leno to death with Kevin Eubanks's guitar (this still might happen). So what did happen on Conan last night? How did Letterman respond? Reactions from all relevant late-night hosts, after the jump.Conan (following his first commercial break):"I have to talk about something that's happening in my life. I woke up this morning and I sa

So What’s Jay Leno’s New Show Gonna Be Like, Anyway?
Now that reactions to Jay Leno's upcoming move to the 10 p.m. slot have poured in from the furthest reaches of the talk-show circuit, it's time to take a step back and start to think about the creative changes that will be necessary for The Jay Leno Show to make when it starts up in the fall of 2009. Just kidding, no one really cares about the creative process! During yesterday's press conference in Burbank hosted by Leno and NBC co-chiefs Marc Graboff and Ben Silverman, the major motif was one of fiscal re

A taste of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon
Before Jimmy Fallon is taking over for Conan O’Brien who is taking over for Jay Leno who is taking over the 10p hour on NBC, you can preview his show via webisodes weeknights on NBC.com at 12:35a. I wonder if he will say anything about Jay Leno’s news on his vlog tonight. Late Night with Jimmy Fallon premieres on NBC, the TV network on May 12th.

‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’ Webisode 1
Jimmy Fallon posted his first webisode this morning in an effort to give fans a taste of what they’ll see when the comic takes over hosting duties on NBC’s Late Night from current host Conan O’Brien next year. Jimmy also introduced his house band, which will be none other than neo-soul hitmakers The Roots! What did you [...]

Jimmy Fallon Previews New Show; Obscured By Leno News
Sorry, Jimmy but that was bad timing on NBC’s part. On Monday NBC released the first video from Jimmy Fallon’s daily video messages as he preps for his move into his Late Night position. On Monday night news leaked that Jay Leno wouldn’t be leaving NBC late night after all, but instead would be airing weeknights at 10pm instead of 11:30pm. EW has an excellent write-up on how this move will save NBC roughly a million dollars a week compared producing weekly dramas. Unfortu

Report: NBC unveils “The Jay Leno Show”…
Since the shocking announcement that Jay Leno is staying put on NBC, the peacock station just revealed more details on the new show. The name of the show is simply titled “The Jay Leno Show”. Like I said in a post before, the show will be basically the same thing as “The Tonight Show”. Making jokes about current news, two celebrity interviews and a musical guest. Guitarist Kevin Eubanks and the rest of the “Tonight Show” band will stick with Leno as well. Re

Jimmy Fallon Taps the Root(s) of Late Night TV
Even though in-the-end the chances that Saturday Night Live alum Jimmy Fallon will garner as much buzz as Conan O’Brien when he takes over NBC’s Late Night are slim, it’s pretty dope to see the comedian taking such creative strides as this. The Roots have been tapped as the program’s house band when the change occurs next year Fallon revealed at the end of his first video entry on his new blog (a site designed to offer behind-the-scenes footage throughout the show’

Are You Excited For Late Night With Jimmy Fallon?
In March, Jimmy Fallon will officially take over hosting duties of Late Night With Conan O'Brien, and to get us ready he's started posting webisodes previewing the show. As it turns out, Jay Leno is actually getting another nightly talk show on the network when Conan takes over his spot, but those of us who love our late-night fix can look forward to Jimmy. So watch the first webisode below and tell us — are you excited for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon?Are You Excited For Late Night With Jimmy Fallon? Yes

Jimmy Fallon Late Night Webisode Can Only Portend Bad Tidings
As Ryan Tate pointed out, there's not much joy in smashing Jimmy Fallon's first web-attempt at hosting Conan O'Brien's Late Night spot, which Fallon will take over in 2009. Sure, the former SNL member barely looks like he's trying, with that t-shirt-on-top-of-long-sleeves thing, and yes he looks like he's sweating more than Robin Williams in the 70s, but you have to give the man an A for effort. He doesn't crack a smile once, the likes of which were his main c

Ed Martin: NBC and Jay Leno Put Broadcast Television in Play
 If nothing else, NBC’s announcement this week that it will in September 2009 turn over one third of its Monday-Friday primetime schedule to Tonight Show host Jay Leno has put broadcast television as we know it into play. Nobody can say what the impact of this first of its kind programming strategy will be in the long run, but it will certainly mark the biggest change to the primetime broadcast landscape since 1971, when CBS, NBC and ABC were made by the FCC to surrender a collective nine hours o

TV Alert: Wanda Sykes on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" tonight
Out actress and comedian Wanda Sykes will appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight on NBC. Of course, she'll probably be promoting her television show, The New Adventures of Old Christine, but she and Leno might just have a few other things to talk about.

Leno Takes Over One-Third of NBC's Weekly Primetime Schedule
NBC announced Jay Leno's new 10 p.m. show as a win-win: a way to keep a bankable star on the air while unveiling an entirely new way to look at primetime scheduling. The question now is whether the new show will be as good – and earn the ratings – of the shows it will replace in primetime. Monday through Friday, he'll occupy a full third of the 8-11 p.m. bracket when most people watch TV. Leno consistently wins his late-night slot, and the show should also be cheaper to produce tha

Leno Staying on NBC
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. In fact, he’s being given a new nightly show at 10pm. That’s prime time, baby! Leno moved up like the Jeffersons! Conan m

Jimmy Fallon And Questlove To Start Practicing Their Banter
Obviously the gossip at last night's Deerhunter show was all about NBC's decision to give Jay Leno a talk show weeknights at 10 PM. What does this mean for Conan, who is taking over the Tonight Show timeslot? Or Jimmy Fallon who is taking over for Conan? While you ponder this new late night model, check out the debut on-set vlog from Fallon, in which he introduces the Roots as his house band.

Jay Leno's Move to Primetime: Brilliant or Desperate?
This afternoon, NBC announced a breakthrough plan for fall 2009 that is unlike any other line-up ever produced. It was well documented that this spring Jay Leno would be stepping down from his 16 year post at The Tonight Show. Late Night host Conan O'Brien would move into the 11:35/10:35c slot, and former SNL cast member Jimmy Fallon would be taking over for Conan on Late Night. These moves led to speculation that Jay would in fact not be retiring, but instead ink a lucrative deal to create

Once and future late-night afterthought Jimmy Fallon hit his stride on his second day of videoblogging, treating viewers to an early glimpse of the set of his show and reacting about as gleefully as everybody else to NBC’s retention of Jay Leno — a move essentially relegating him to the role of Rockefeller Center’s afterhours janitor.
