This week, late night veteran Jay Leno returns as host of the “The Tonight Show” on NBC, signifying the end of a youthful and hilarious run with Conan O’Brien.

O’Brien, who took over as host of “The Tonight Show” after Leno left to host “The Jay Leno Show,” was given only seven months to try his hand at hosting the classic late night broadcast before NBC executives made the rash decision to move Leno’s show from 10 p.m. to 11:35 p.m., pushing O’Brien and “The Tonight Show” back to 12:05 p.m.

O’Brien quickly released a statement addressed to the “people of earth,” announcing his departure from “The Tonight Show.”

 

How do you feel about Bowles's acceptance to a new position in President Obama's administration?
