Last Late Night Show tonight... next stop The Tonight Show in June...

So what O'Brien doesn't have to do any shows from Feb 23rd till June ? That's a nice 3 month vacation. Haven't had one of those long vacations like that since I was in grade school.

I guess so. Jimmy Fallon starts in a week, and Jay stays until May, I think.

I never "got" Conan... if I'm up at that time of night it's Mr. Wick

I only watch the late shows recorded. I am never up that late normally.

I guess he does have to move across the country. Will probably be a hectic 3 month vacation for him. I hope he does well, but I have some doubts. I actually like Conan, but I'm not sure how well his current act is going to play to the 11:30 crowd. I expect he will have to change it up some.

He should do fine with the younger demo. But I do think this will boost Letterman.

Good for him. His shows never seem to last even a season. He needs work!

Anybody know if the Max Weinberg 7 will be heading west also? Don't Max live on the east coast?

It will be interesting to see if the lead-in from Jay still helps, but there will be the 30 minute break for news in between.
