Jay Leno Available For Roadside Assistance (If You Work For Conan O’Brien)

If the following tabloid story is true, it stands to be the best Jay Leno automotive distress story of the day (yes, even better than the report that Leno’s 1907 White Steam Car broke down in front of an Encino Chili’s during Labor Day weekend and the Tonight Show host lovingly willed his car back to health with the support of generous anti-Coco passersby). Do you have your grain of salt at the ready? Let’s begin.

Worst Ratings Summer Ever for The Tonight Show Still Better Than David Letterman

Good news and bad news, Jay Leno haters. Ratings for The Tonight Show reached an all-time low in the advertiser coveted 18-49 demographic this summer, down 22 percent from the mark Conan O’B rien set a year ago. Hooray! Ready for the bad news? Leno still had more overall viewers than Conan did over the same time period last summer, and The Tonight Show still easily defeated The Late Show with David Letterman .

What Can Conan O’Brien Say About NBC and Jay Leno During the Emmy Awards?

…a lot, as it turns out! Despite the fact that Conan O’B rien’s non-disparagement agreement with NBC doesn’t expire until September 1, the ex- Tonight Show host is free to mock his former employers if he wins an Emmy on Sunday night , just so long as his barbs are true. That means if Conan gets up on stage, expect at least one Jay Leno laugh and a dig at the network built around The Biggest Loser . Considering The Daily Show has this category locked down, however, NBC shouldn’t be too worried. [ THR, Esq. ]

Watch Conan O’Brien Experiment with Claymation in New TBS Promo

NBC Congratulates Conan on Emmy Nod

You can bet that NBC publicists thought long and hard this morning how to handle Conan O’B rien’s Emmy nomination for The Tonight Show .
