Though the big news if true is buried: Conan insiders are also making it clear that previous reports that O'Brien's deal didn't specify a timeslot for "The Tonight Show" are "categorically untrue." They note that during his "Late Night" days, O'Brien's contracts with NBC always specified that "Late Night" would be the show following "The Tonight Show" and that "Tonight" aired at 11:35. (This was probably to prevent NBC from one day deciding "Late Night" meant 4 a.m.) In the "Tonight" era, O'Brien has similar language as well, one person familiar with the contents of the deal confirmed. But it's in an addendum to the contract (which may explain why NBC folks have apparently been telling certain websites that the network could move "Tonight" without penalty). "There's a reason NBC is looking to get this done so quickly," the pro-Coco insider said. -- Steve Rhodes http://flickr.com/photos/ari/ photos http://twitter.com/tigerbeat
