Leno/O'Brian Timeslot Change Fallout, sad AND hilarious


After much speculation, Conan O'Brien released a statement yesterday addressed to "People of Earth," in which he said that he "cannot participate in what I honestly believe is [the show's] destruction." He was referring to NBC's decision to take Jay Leno out of prime time and give him a half-hour show at 11:35 p.m. NBC executives were hoping that O'Brien could follow at 12:05 a.m. But in his letter O'Brien refused, stating that pushing the show to 12:05 would hurt the franchise that he grew up watching. All of this drama clearly made great fodder for the late-night shows, and Gawker has helpfully compiled a bunch of clips into one page.
