Will Leno Take ‘Tonight’ Back From Conan?

Rumors swirl about comic’s primetime show, possible shake-up on NBC

NEW YORK - Although NBC shot down rumors Thursday that it would be canceling the low-rated “The Jay Leno Show,” unconfirmed reports indicate a lineup shuffle may be in the works that would keep Leno at the network, but not necessarily in the 10 p.m. time slot he’s held since September.

According to the speculation, “The Jay Leno Show” would go on hiatus beginning Feb. 1 and after the Winter Olympics the comic would return at the helm of “The Tonight Show” at 11:35 p.m., replacing Conan O’Brien.

The New York Times also reported that in addition to restoring Leno to his former spot, the network would push O’Brien to a 12:05 a.m. starting time for an hour-long program. “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” would then start at 1:05 a.m.
