    The latest on Conan, Leno and NBC

    I stumbled across Leno last night while flipping around, early in the Sarah Palin interview. Her standup routine was a riot!

    The latest on Conan, Leno and NBC

    It's called Soul Food and it's delicious and there are plenty of restaurants that serve it and most black people I know seem pretty proud of it (and rightly so). This is one of the stupidest "controversies" I've ever heard. I note that the Roots performed a song about it on Jimmy Fallon a...

    Quote: It's one thing to have a stronger lead-in between scripted dramas; it's another thing entirely to have another late-night talk show as a lead-in. Plenty of Leno fans probably watch him at 10 and then go to sleep or read a book (or. . .you know. . . ;) ) at 11:30. Most people watching...

    I've heard that Conan has some sort of out clause in his contract that forces NBC to pay him a huge fee (potentially 8 figures) if he doesn't get at least half of the 11:30-12:30 time slot. Can't confirm or deny that, though!
