I think the first half hour of the Tonight Show might possibly survive in prime time... but the second half hour with the second guest and musical act? That will die a horrible death in prime time. And that’s going to be the lead-in to the 11pm local news! There’ll be an affiliate revolt! Gary -

What's to stop an affiliate from moving their local news to 10:00 pm ET and running Leno and O'Brien and Fallon back-to-back-to-back? If I were an NBC affiliate GM, I'd be thinking that if the network is effectively conceding 10, why not move my local news up there? And wouldn't that be the ultim

About those 10 p.m. ratings ... money quote (TV Week): The host of “The Jay Leno Show” doesn’t expect to beat first-run versions of the scripted dramas it will compete with at 10 p.m. weeknights starting in fall 2009. He doesn’t have to, said Marc Graboff, co-chairman of NBC Entertainment. “

Data posted by AB today lead to the conclusion that NBC is averaging 7.5 million viewers at the 10:00 hour (I had guestemated 7 million last night). Leno would have to average around 5.5 million (5.64 actually) to get to 75% of the current 10:00 pm viewership. I think that is reasonable (remember

Ron - that's along the lines of the 'roadshow' idea I suggested earlier, although you might be on to something - Vegas has no shortage of celebrities, oddities & regular folk, and it's close enough to LA to make the trip shorter than, say, NY for guests. I'd be up for a live broadcast too, but it

My suggestion for the new Leno show: base it in Las Vegas. It gives Leno a differentiation from the NY/LA scene; opens opportunities for celebrity guests not currently in NY/LA providing Conan with a bit of a buffer; provides plenty of 'average folk' for 'JayWalking'; allows Jay to do the occasion
