In April, TBS lured Conan O’B rien over to its cable channel with a compensation package worth of a broadcast network star: an estimated yearly salary of $10 million, an 11pm time slot, and ownership of his show. It’s an expensive gamble, but TBS plans to milk its Coco commodity for all it’s worth — and when it comes to the amount they’re charging advertisers, they may have gone overboard.

Yesterday I had another book signing in Glendale, California. It was so much fun to meet all of the readers who came to the signing, especially the little kids! Being on a book tour is almost more fun than the campaign trail. I want to thank everyone who has purchased my book and come out to the signings; you’ve made this all possible for me and I’m so grateful for your support. Tonight I am a guest on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. I hope everyone will tune in and watch. The other guests are Ed Harris and GEORGE CLINTON! I can’t wait to meet him; I’m such a big fan! Song of the Day: “Get Up” by Blanca (Check her out, this song has been replaying in my head over and over again.)

Filed under: Jay Leno How’s this for news … Jay Leno is the victim!
You didn’t see this on Friday night because you stopped paying attention to Jay Leno a long time ago, but Kevin Eubanks ended his stint as bandleader on The Tonight Show after 18 years — and yes, apparently NBC is folding the five-month sojourn to The Jay Leno Show into Tonight Show history. Who knew?! Anyway, as Leno is prone to do, his goodbye speech to Eubanks was filled with faux-sincerity, but you do get the feeling that Jay will really miss him. If only because it’s doubtful that replacement, American Idol band leader Rickey Minor, will be a ready-made laugh track and comedy foil. After the jump, watch the tribute video The Tonight Show put together for Eubanks, which — surprise! — is actually kinda funny. Well, for Jay Leno.

Kevin Eubanks, whose duties included comic sidekick to Leno as well as guitarist, had been aboard since Leno took over NBC#39;s “Tonight” in 1992. Eubanks became musical director when Branford Marsalis left in 1995. It#39;s a wrap for “Tonight Show” bandleader Kevin Eubanks after 18 years backing up host Jay Leno. “I don#39;t think we#39;ve ever had an argument,” Leno said, bidding Eubanks farewell on Friday#39;s show. “We#39;ve had a lot of fun.” The 52-year-old Eubanks joined Leno last fall

Last night Katherine Heigl made her first appearance on the Tonight Show since 1995, when the struggling actress shamelessly entertained Jay Leno with her lawnmower dance move to promote Under Siege 2 . Sadly for viewers though, Leno passed up the hilarious clip reel in favor of good-old fashioned talking points — talking points that were meant to elicit funny anecdotes, but instead led to the Killers actress choking up while discussing the death of her brother. Click through to see how Jay Leno handled the unexpected emotion, as well as the other highlights you missed last night while mourning The Tyra Banks Show .
