It's Official. During the TV Critics Association Winter Press Tour, NBC confirmed that 'The Jay Leno Show' will be moving to 11:35 following the Winter Olympics."It has been performing at acceptable levels for networks, but it did not meet all the affiliate needs," Jeff Gaspin, chairman of NBC Universal Television Entertainment told a packed room at the TV critics winter press tour.
Gaspin said he is determined to keep both Conan O'Brien, who took over Leno's slot on "The Tonight Show" -- which will now move to 12:05 a.m. -- and Jimmy Fallon, who took O'Brien's spot on "Late Night" an hour later.
Conan O'Brien has yet to decide what he is going to do. He has the option of keeping the 'Tonight' show, but moving to 12:05, or he could choose to leave the network for greener pastures. Fox has already indicated that they would be interested in Conan is he left NBC.
