Team Leno wins! TMZ reports Jay Leno to return to ‘Tonight Show’
Looks like an official decision has finally been made regarding the hot mess that is NBC’s late night lineup.
TMZ just broke the news that NBC has reached a deal with Jay Leno that will bring him back as the host of “The Tonight Show” and it appears that Conan O’Brien is completely out. Womp womp.
It really seems like most people have been Team Conan, but um, not me. I’m a big fan of Conan, but he was so much better in his original time slot of 12:35 on “Late Night.” With him as host of ‘Tonight,’ it was like all the pressure got to him and he changed things around to appeal to a new audience — and according to the ratings, he failed.
I still say that NBC shouldn’t have changed anything from the beginning. Jay’s ratings were strong on ‘Tonight’, Conan was doing great on ‘Late Night’, and Carson Daly…. well, at least he never got canceled.
Perhaps NBC should get rid of Jimmy Fallon, put Conan back at 12:35, and pretend like none of this ever happened. Officer, I didn’t see anything.
