Jay Leno Celebrates 20th Anniversary on The Tonight Show

26 May 2012 8:37 AM, PDT | E! Online - UK | See recent E! Online - UK news »

Happy Anniversary Jay Leno!  It's been twenty years since Johnny Carson handed the show over to the stand-up comedian, and Leno's stint on the Tonight Show is still going strong (in spite of a couple of past hiccups). But, given that his tenure on the NBC late-night talk show hasn't always been smooth sailing (lest we not forget the whole Conan O'Brien shake-up), Leno made sure to get in a few jokes to kick off his two decades as host. "Today is our anniversary," the 62-year-old Leno said in his opening monologue. "Twenty years ago today, we did our very first show. In that time we've seen a lot of stars come and go from the program…including »

Phillip Phillips on 'The Tonight Show': 'Idol' winner on his health issues and post-victory media tour

25 May 2012 10:23 AM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

"American Idol" winner Phillip Phillips told Jay Leno Thursday night (May 24) that he had slept only a couple hours following Wednesday's finale, but he didn't look much worse for the long night and day. The fact that he got to meet Rihanna probably didn't hurt.

Phillips made a post-victory appearance on "The Tonight Show" Thursday and talked about his win, a brief encounter with Rihanna at the finale and his health issues. He suffered from chronic kidney stones throughout the season and will have surgery for the problem.

"It's been tough," he says in the second clip below. "... You've got to go after your dream [when] you know you want it bad enough. I've had a lot of great doctors and people around me who helped get me through."

Phillips says he's planning to have surgery in the next couple weeks and expects to be ready for the start of the "American Idol" tour in July. »

Conan O'Brien says he and Jay Leno "will both leave this Earth without speaking to each other"

24 May 2012 5:30 AM, PDT | Nerve | See recent Nerve news »

Attention, everyone: you can stop feeling sorry for Conan O'Brien, because he's stopped feeling sorry for himself. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, O'Brien revealed he's finally made his transformation into a mature role model and surprisingly tall butterfly.  Though the loss of The Tonight Show temporarily left O'Brien an angry, resentful wearer of neck beards, he's not interested in talking smack about Jay Leno. He wouldn't take the bait during his appearance on Letterman and he's not going to now. The odds are we will both leave this Earth without speaking to each other, which is fine... there's really nothing to say. We both know the deal. He knows; I know. I'd rather just forget. After the 2010 Tonight Show controversy, things were looking a little bleak for O'Brien, but he's since emerged stronger than ever, [...] »

Michael Cudlitz hopes to explore further his character's sexuality on 'Southland' [Video]

23 May 2012 9:29 PM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

This season on "Southland," Michael Cudlitz's veteran Lapd officer John Cooper returned to the force following a stint in drug rehab. The series itself is prone to dramatic comebacks. It debuted in the spring of 2009 on NBC and was renewed for a second season, only to be abruptly dropped to make room for Jay Leno's ill-fated primetime series. TNT came to the rescue, and though the police drama has never attracted a large audience, it continues to narrowly escape the chopping block; the cable network has once again renewed "Southland," this time for a fifth season. "We live on the bubble," says Cudlitz of the series's year-to-year survival. "It was stressful the first two pickups. It is not stressful now because we know that we're honestly doing what we want to do out there … If the numbers don't add up, if they're not getting enough people watching the »

Conan, Back On Top, Has 'Nothing To Say' To Jay Leno

23 May 2012 3:51 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

In The Hollywood Reporter's cover story on Conan O'Brien, the TBS host admitted that he would rather move forward in life rather than look back at the 2010 "Tonight Show" controversy. And part of that is coming to terms with the fact that any energy spent thinking about Jay Leno is a waste.

"The odds are we will both leave this Earth without speaking to each other, which is fine," O'Brien tells THR. "There's really nothing to say. We both know the deal. He knows; I know. I'd rather just forget."

Of course, he does take some small amount of glee in the fact that nearly every NBC executive involved with the blunder have since exited the company. "It helps that almost everybody involved in the craziness has been relieved of their jobs," he said.

When O'Brien left NBC, part of his exit agreement included a non-disparagement clause. Since such a »

Jessica Simpson's Rumored Wedding Date Revealed

23 May 2012 9:04 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Jessica Simpson has her hands full with baby Maxwell these days, but that won't stop her and Eric Johnson from moving forward with their upcoming wedding plans.

According to Life & Style, the couple, who have been engaged since November 2010, were originally planning a November 11, 2011 wedding (11/11/11) but decided to wait until after the birth of their darling daughter, Maxwell Drew Johnson.

Now, L&S reports, Simpson and Johnson are set to tie the knot on December 12, 2012 (12/12/12).

While there has been no official word from the star about her new wedding plans -- we're still waiting to see a photo of baby Maxwell, too -- she did speak about her nuptials while promoting "Fashion Star" earlier this year.

"I want [Johnson] to be my husband so bad, and I do still want to wear the pretty gown and everything, and I have to wait until after the baby," Simpson told Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" in March. »

Today Is The 20th Anniversary Of Johnny Carson's Farewell

22 May 2012 8:02 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

On May 22, 1992, Johnny Carson ended his 30-year reign as the host of "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson." Twenty years after his final broadcast, Carson remains unmatched as an American television icon.

Carson's abilities as a television host set the prototype for all late-night hosts who would come after him. Effortlessly likable, quick on his feet and always present, his monologue and guest interviews were a staple of the American cultural diet. In the new PBS documentary "Johnny Carson: King of Late Night," his one-time permanent guest host Joan Rivers called Carson "the ultimate straight man," praising his ability to let his guests have the spotlight during interviews.

One of his successors, Conan O'Brien, said in the documentary that his forebear's greatest slight of hand was to simultaneously appear innocent as well as "the coolest guy in the room."

The Who, What, When, Where, And Why Of Awake’s Cancellation

19 May 2012 7:59 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

 Or, why I’ll never be fooled by NBC again.

So, this is the last time that I will speak or write about Awake.  In fact, this might be the last time anybody issues any type of missive in regards to NBC’s most recent series cancellation.

To say that I had high hopes for Awake would be an exercise in understatement.  I’ve been slathering this show with praise since months before its premiere date was announced.  Now I will offer my reasons as to why I fell so hard for the show, and why it fell so hard once it aired.

Who is responsible for Awake‘s failure?

Well, it wasn’t my fault, that’s for goddamn sure.  And I’m pretty sure that it isn’t the fault of Kyle Killen, the series’ creator.  Killen had a novel concept for a series, which he equipped with a compelling structure. »
