Jimmy Fallon in turn will take over Late Night sometime in the spring, after a practice run online.

NBC will air O'Brien-fronted Late Night reruns until Fallon is deemed up to speed.

Facing questions about the much-publicized possibility of the supposedly disgruntled Leno taking his late-night antics—and possibly his sizable audience—with him to ABC, NBC Entertainment cochairs Ben Silverman and Marc Graboff stuck to their guns.

"We really believe in the decisions we've made with our partners, including Jay," Silverman told reporters at the Television Critics Assn. gathering.

In a subsequent statement, NBC tried to give props to the departing Leno, as well as the new hosts.

"The Tonight Show has a remarkable history rich in tradition. We're proud of each and every show Jay has shared with America as we look forward to Conan carrying on that outstanding tradition next year," said Rick Ludwin, NBC's chief late-night programmer.

"We also can't wait for Jimmy to showcase his winning style following Conan. Jay has left his personal stamp on The Tonight Show for what will be 17 years. He is enormously creative, generous and professional."

Leno didn't immediately comment on the network-imposed timeframe.

We're guessing he's too generous and professional to let us know how he really feels.

Oh that's right, that's right. Phew. I knew I was missing something here.

Least this means I'll be able to catch Conan earlier and then turn off the TV immediately afterwards

He's on at 11:15pm here, and goes past 12. The worst part is, he's still more entertaining than the shows on the other 5 channels

I wish they'd brought Craig Ferguson from CBS over. Buy him out, somehow... He's fucking hilarious. He'd be perfect for Late Night, although he already does his own.

Being more entertaining than an infomercial for SheerCover is not something to shout about.

True , but you'd think at least one channel would have something better.

Or, perhaps is a conspiracy to inflate Letterman's ratings by showing bad ads on every other channel!

big mistake... i'm not a huge leno fan... but conan is too edgy... leno appeals to more people(mainstream)...
Leno will go to ABC and beat Conan in the ratings... and i think Conan is a comic genius...

Love is the answer
