Manhattan Adult Entertainment: Jay Leno Officially Gets Tonight Show
There are a few rumors out there now regarding how quickly Conan will be gone from The Tonight Show. Next week may be his last with attempts being made to score big guests and send the show out with a bang. Also unsubstantiated is that NBC has been contacting talent to guest host the show in the gap between when Conan leaves and the Winter Olympics.
Conan has been hilarious in the last few shows taking shots at NBC and now offering up “classic moments” from the show’s seven month run. Ratings have soared as support has been strongly in his corner. The ironic thing about all this is how it may have turned out to be the “Hugh Grant” moment for Conan. Leno was struggling in ratings for two years before he had the Hugh Grant interview soon after his arrest with a prostitute.
