The Late Night Tonight Show With Conon O'Leno
I didn't realise that US network TV operated such a squad system, but it seems NBC have agreed to keep Jay Leno up front for the Tonight Show until 2009, when Late Night With Conan O'Brian's Conan O'Brian will move over to the Tonight Show, leaving room for Late Night With Conan O'Brian to possibly become Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. David Letterman was unavailable for comment.
Apparently the move is all part of deal that NBC would give O'Brian the Tonight Show slot by 2009, or be forced to pay out $40 million +. A figure that even Jonathan Ross might gulp at.
