Once again controversy has erupted in the world of late night television. Some of you might remember the late night wars of the early 90s. Jay Leno was a key player in that drama.  Today he again finds himself at the center of a new controversy. As you may already know, Jay Leno wanted to star in a new show that aired at 10pm, well before the traditional Tonight Show time slot. Why 10pm? We believe shows like "The Daily Show" and Stephen Colbert had made this time slot relevant with a younger, hipper crowd of viewers. Jay Leno wanted a piece of this lucrative audience. He also wanted to be the star of the show. No longer would everything be about the Tonight Show franchise, no longer would he be compared to previous hosts. Now the show was entirely about him. Jay wanted to be bigger than the Tonight Show. Unfortunately for Jay, the viewing public did not agree. Ratings for the new show were abysmal. NBC quickly went into panic mode.

In a bizarre move, NBC has decided to push Jay's new show back to the 11:30 time slot. They also plan to move The Tonight Show to 12:05 am, pushing it past the midnight hour. This is a move that outraged many long time fans of the show. To make matters worse, the current host of the Tonight Show, Conan O'Brien, has publicly stated he wants nothing to do with the new schedule. Many people feel the noble O'Brien is being screwed in a very public manner. The talented and dedicated O'Brien has crafted a well loved program over his many years on the network. He has developed a loyal following that patiently waited to see him make the move up to the big seat on the Tonight Show. After all this is a right of passage for a late night talk show host. David Letterman found a home at CBS and Jay Leno took his job from the beloved Johnny Carson.
