Where Studio 6A was arranged with the firm band on the far left, followed past the performance expanse then the interview set, the house band was moved to the right of the functioning phase on This evening, with the interview ready now on the far left.

From 2012 until 2014, Stage 1 was the home of Chelsea Lately, which aired on East!, a channel owned by NBCUniversal.^[vi]

In a high-profile declaration by NBC on September 27, 2004, information technology was officially declared that Conan O'Brien would take over as host of The Tonight Show in 2009, replacing Jay Leno, ending a seventeen-twelvemonth run by Leno.

On June nine, 2009, Late Show had rated better than The Tonight Show with a three.iv rating to two.nine rating.^{[nineteen] [xx]} It was the first time in over eight months that Letterman rated better than his NBC counterpart.^{[xx] [21]} Tonight would finish upwards winning week two, however, with O'Brien garnering 850,000 more than viewers than Late Show with David Letterman in the eighteen–49 demographic, plus 650,000 more viewers in the 18–34 demographic and 550,000 more in the 25–54 demographic.^[22]

The week before the expiry of Michael Jackson saw Letterman concenter a larger audience than O'Brien, with The Tonight Show audience measuring equally the smallest in the franchise's history, "3.3 one thousand thousand viewers, about 2 one thousand thousand fewer than Jay Leno'due south boilerplate as host."^[23] The following week, O'Brien's total viewership was even lower, averaging 2.eight meg; among viewers 25-to-54, he tied with Letterman, the first time O'Brien failed to win that demographic since he had become host.^[24] However, The New York Times noted that the coverage of Jackson's decease had placed Nightline ahead of both Letterman and O'Brien that week.^[23] By the week ending Baronial vii, repeats of The Late Show were also beating O'Brien, admitting with the thinnest of margins—the repeats got a 2.1/6 household rating and 2.95 million total viewers, vs. The Tonight Show'south 2.0/5 rating and two.94 million viewers; both were beaten that week by Nightline'southward 3.25 million.^[25]

Although there were suggestions that O'Brien'south greatest strength, the "young men" demographic, could be more easily reached "on Web sites and cable channels similar Comedy Key and Spike", advertisers and network executives alike pointed out that the first real examination would come up in September 2009.^[23] Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Tom Shales also pointed out in August 2009 that O'Brien was "in much ameliorate shape than Leno was at the offset."^[26] O'Brien'southward strength was also potent among depression income inner city viewers, and had always beaten Letterman by a big margin among that demographic.^[23] O' Brien too received very high ratings over Letterman among African American and Hispanic viewers, which was very unusual for a white host.^[23] Prior to Conan's tenure African American and Hispanic viewers were usually separate among Leno and Letterman.^[23]

Dispute over timeslot and host [edit]

O'Brien quickly gained public support when it was revealed NBC was considering moving The This night Testify to a later on time

On January 7, 2010, multiple media outlets reported that beginning March 1, 2010, Jay Leno would motility from his ten pm weeknight time slot to eleven:35 pm, due to a combination of pressure from affiliates and both Leno'southward and O'Brien's poor ratings.^{[32] [33]} The plan would accept Leno's show shortened from an hour to 30 minutes. All NBC belatedly night programming would exist preempted by the 2010 Winter Olympics between Feb 15 and 26; a terminal determination near the programming changes was made past NBC on Jan ten.^{[34] [35]} O'Brien's contract stipulated that NBC could movement the evidence back to 12:05 am without penalty (a clause put in primarily to conform sports preemptions), leaving him with no apparent recourse other than resignation.^[36]

On Jan 10, NBC confirmed they would move Jay Leno out of primetime on February 12, and intended to move him to belatedly-dark as shortly as possible.^[34] TMZ reported that O'Brien was given no advance notice of the change, and that NBC offered two choices: the hour-long 12:05 am time slot, or the selection to leave the network.^[37] If O'Brien did choose to leave, Leno would likely regain the Tonight Show title as well as the total 11:35 pm to 12:35 am time slot.^[37] Another possibility was that NBC could pay O'Brien to refrain from working for another network, remain off-air, and so accept him resume as host once Leno retires.^[33] The day after the change was announced, The New York Times spoke with an bearding Play a trick on executive, who said that the company felt O'Brien "would be a keen fit for Play tricks."^[38] ABC had stated they felt no demand to add together O'Brien to their late night schedule, which already independent Nightline and Jimmy Kimmel Live!.^[39]

On Jan 12, O'Brien issued a printing release that stated he would not keep with the NBC program if it moves to a 12:05 am time slot,^[40] saying, "I believe that delaying The Tonight Testify into the next day to adjust some other one-act program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The Tonight Testify at 12:05 only isn't the This night Show. As well, if I accept this motility I will be knocking the Late Nighttime show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot. That would injure the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would exist unfair to Jimmy."^[41] In the aforementioned argument, O'Brien pointed out the lack of support from the network and lead-in prime number time ratings: "Information technology was my mistaken conventionalities that, similar my predecessor, I would have the benefit of some time and, just as important, some degree of ratings support from the prime number-time schedule. Building a lasting audience at 11:30 is impossible without both."^[42]

On Jan fifteen, All Headline News reported that NBC intended to go along Conan off the air completely for iii and a half years, without pay, unless he agreed to NBC'southward terms.^[43] Insiders for both NBC and O'Brien reportedly dismissed the notion as "ludicrous": "He has two and a one-half years left on his deal. How would they fifty-fifty do that?"^[44] NBC Universal chief Jeff Zucker made the threat with the belief that O'Brien'south contract contained a clause that allowed the network to demote him for an additional one year after his contract expires.^[45] An insider on O'Brien's side claimed that NBC would exist in alienation of an addendum to the contract if The Tonight Bear witness was moved to a later time slot.^{[46] [47]}

The New York Times reported online support was overwhelmingly in favor of O'Brien; in the days post-obit the switch announcement, 88% of related Twitter posts expressed support for O'Brien.^[48] Tens of thousands of Facebook posts were made siding with O'Brien, and thousands joined diverse "Team Conan" or "I'thou with Coco"^[49] groups.^[l] Dozens of celebrities expressed back up for O'Brien, including Roger Ebert,^[51] Tom Hanks,^[52] Rosie O'Donnell,^{[53] [54]} Jim Gaffigan,^[55] Paul F. Tompkins,^[56] Doug Benson,^[57] Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson,^[58] Alyssa Milano,^[59] Chris Parnell,^[60] Jimmy Kimmel,^[61] Jeff Garlin^{[ citation needed ]}, and Ricky Gervais.^[62] Actor and comedian Patton Oswalt expressly backed O'Brien, saying, "Comedians who don't like Jay Leno now, and I'm one of them, nosotros're non similar, 'Jay Leno sucks'; information technology'south that we're and then hurt and disappointed that i of the best comedians of our generation... willfully has close the switch off."^[63]

In a 2010 event of Tv Guide, the timeslot dispute ranked No. ane on a list of TV's biggest "blunders".^[64]

Settlement with NBC and O'Brien's departure [edit]

After two weeks of negotiations, on Jan 21, 2010, information technology was officially announced that Conan O'Brien had signed a $45 meg deal to exit NBC birthday, ending a partnership that lasted 22 years.^{[65] [66]} The Wall Street Journal reported that O'Brien would receive about $32 million, executive producer Jeff Ross $4.5 million,^[67] and the rest of the staff around $seven.5 1000000.^[66] The bargain did not, however, contain a previously rumored "mitigation clause", in which NBC would be able to keep some of the severance pay after O'Brien institute a new program.^[66] It too stipulated that O'Brien could freely return to television as early on as September i, 2010, on another network.^{[66] [68]}

The network confirmed that Leno would officially resume every bit host of The Tonight Show on March 1, 2010, following the 2010 Wintertime Olympics coverage on NBC.^[69] Reruns of episodes from O'Brien'south time continued to air until the beginning of NBC's coverage of the Olympics in Feb 2010.^[70]

Concluding week of shows [edit]

One time information technology was fabricated public that January 22 would likely be O'Brien's last This evening Show episode, a number of large name guests were booked for the terminal few shows, including Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Robin Williams and Adam Sandler. Musical guests for the final week included Spoon and Barry Manilow. The guests for the final episode were Tom Hanks, Volition Ferrell, and musical guest Neil Immature. Ferrell bookended the show by being O'Brien's offset and last guest. Tom Hanks was the final interview of both O'Brien'due south Tonight Bear witness and David Letterman's Late Dark.

In addition, a number of other unannounced celebrities "dropped past" during diverse segments of the bear witness. On January 13, Jack McBrayer appeared briefly in grapheme equally NBC page Kenneth Parcell from thirty Stone. He interrupted O'Brien's monologue while giving a guided tour effectually the studio, quipping, "NBC spent more time building this studio than using information technology."^[71] On Jan 19, Norm Macdonald walked onstage with a large congratulatory gift handbasket he had procrastinated on giving O'Brien since June. He read aloud from the greeting menu, "Congratulations Conan on finally securing your place as permanent host of The This evening Show. That'south something they can never take away from you."^[72] Ed Helms appeared on Jan 20, performing "Stu's Song" from The Hangover with altered lyrics that remarked upon O'Brien'southward current troubles.^[73] Ben Stiller and Paul Reubens (in character as Pee-wee Herman) made brief unannounced stops on the Jan 21 prove. On the last testify, Steve Carell made a cameo advent as an NBC employee conducting O'Brien's exit interview.

The January 20 episode included a comedic bit in which O'Brien unveiled a Bugatti Veyron dressed as a mouse, while the song "(I Tin can't Go No) Satisfaction" by The Rolling Stones played in the background. O'Brien claimed that the machine and music licensing fees ("not to mention the rights to re-air this clip on the Net") would cost NBC $1.5 million.^[74] It was later revealed that the auto was on loan from the Petersen Automotive Museum.^[75] The segment was later on cut from Cyberspace versions of the episode that were uploaded to Hulu and NBC.com, presumably and then the network could avoid paying the licensing fees required for the Rolling Stones song.^[76]

The "expensive" comedy scrap connected on January 21, featuring 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird wearing a mink Snuggie watching restricted Super Bowl footage, which O'Brien claimed toll NBC $iv.viii million. The final episode upped the ante further with a purported $65 million sketch, featuring a credit card-purchased fossil skeleton of a ground sloth from the Smithsonian Institution spraying Beluga caviar through a hose onto an original Picasso painting. In response to the Internet community'south outcry over the expense of these sketches, O'Brien explained that the segments were a joke.^[77]

The televised airing extended into January 23, which coincidentally marked the five-yr anniversary of Johnny Carson's death. Before introducing the concluding segment, a performance of "Free Bird", O'Brien gave a statement to the viewers and audience, which included a personal cheers to NBC (the first time he expressed gratitude to the network since the controversy began) and his devoted fanbase:

Ladies and gentlemen, before we bring this rodeo to a shut, I call back a couple things should be said. At that place's been a lot of speculation in the press, about what I legally tin can and can't say about NBC, and, this isn't a joke, to set the record straight, and this is truthful, tonight I'm allowed to say annihilation I want. [...] Tonight I really am allowed to say whatever I desire, and what I desire to say is this: Between my time at Saturday Night Live, the Late Nighttime bear witness, and my cursory run here on The This evening Show, I've worked with NBC for over 20 years. Aye, we take our differences right at present, yes, we're going our separate means, just this company has been my home for nigh of my adult life. I am enormously proud of the work we accept washed together, and I want to give thanks NBC for making it all possible, I really exercise.

A lot of people have been asking me about my state of mind, I'll exist honest with yous, walking abroad from The This evening Show is the hardest affair I have e'er had to do. Making this choice has been enormously difficult. This is the best task in the world. I admittedly dear doing information technology, and I have the best staff and crew in the history of the medium. I volition fight everyone who says I don't [...] but no one would. Only despite this sense of loss, I really feel this should exist a happy moment. Every comedian, every comedian dreams of hosting The Tonight Show, and —for 7 months— I got to exercise it. And, I did it my way, with people I love. I do not regret one second of anything that we've done here.

I encounter people when I walk on the street at present, who are but [...] who give me sort of a sad await; I have had more than skilful fortune than everyone I know. And if our next gig is doing a show in a seven-Eleven parking lot, nosotros will discover a manner to make information technology fun, we really will, I will have no issues. I don't want to do information technology in a 7-Eleven parking lot, but whatsoever.

Finally, I have something to say to our fans. This massive outpouring of support, and passion from so many people has been overwhelming for me. The rallies, the signs, all this goofy, outrageous inventiveness on the Internet. The fact that people have traveled long distances, and camped out all night, in the pouring rain [...] to exist in our audience.

Here'due south what all of you take washed: you made a sad state of affairs joyous and inspirational. And so to all the people watching, I can never, ever thank you plenty for the kindness to me, I'll think about information technology for the residuum of my life, and all I inquire is one thing, and I'thou asking this particularly of young people that watch:

Delight do not be contemptuous. I detest pessimism. For the record, it'due south my least favorite quality, it doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to go. But if y'all work really hard and y'all're kind, amazing things will happen. I'm telling you, astonishing things will happen. I'yard telling you, information technology'south just true!

—Conan O'Brien, in his terminal statement.^{[78] [79] [80] [81]}

The concluding episode featured a reel of highlights from the testify's short run, catastrophe with the words, "To Be Continued.", indicating that he will be on some other network.

Content removal controversy [edit]

Roughly two weeks after O'Brien's concluding episode (repeats of previous shows, however, continued to appear until Feb xi, just before the network's coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics), NBC began removing all videos of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien from its website, as well as from the streaming video site Hulu.^[83] Gather.com reported that NBC intends to scrub all O'Brien-related This night Show and Late Dark clips from YouTube making it incredibly difficult to detect any videos of Conan'due south history with The Tonight Show other than his goodbye speech, among other clips.^[84] Fourth dimension magazine criticized the network for pulling the videos, noting that Hulu currently streams many less popular NBC serial, such as Knight Rider, Kings, Crusoe, and Surface.^[85]

In Feb 2010, NBC took O'Brien's official website offline, and removed all mentions of the former host from NBC.com.^[84] Around the same fourth dimension, HornyManatee.com, a URL launched by O'Brien'southward Late Night show equally role of a sketch, began redirecting to NBC.com.^[86] In early on February 2010, O'Brien's face up in the 30 Rockefeller Plaza landscape was replaced by Jay Leno'southward likeness.^[87] The NBC "Tonight Show Experience" website which originally featured media on all of the by hosts was also removed of all content. More recently mention of O'Brien has been restored to the site. Every search consequence in O'Brien's name on NBC.com only produced links to the thirty Rock episode "Tracy Does Conan" – in which O'Brien guest stars – and the farewells to O'Brien during the episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon which aired later O'Brien's last Tonight Evidence.^[88]

Critics accept also called into question promotions circulate in early March 2010 for an upcoming appearance by former vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Leno'due south Tonight Show in which it was claimed that she had never made a tardily-night talk bear witness appearance earlier—despite her appearing on the Conan O'Brien Tonight Show on December 11, 2009. Nikki Finke, a blogger for the Deadline Hollywood website, cited this as more than show of NBC attempting to erase any remnants of the O'Brien era.^{[89] [90]} Sarah Palin also appeared on The Late Tardily Show with Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Kimmel Live!, but neither of those appearances was an interview.

One O'Brien reference that NBC did non filter out was in the April 1, 2010 episode of The Marriage Ref, with Late Nighttime host Jimmy Fallon on the panel. While watching a clip of a married couple arguing about the hubby's odd marionette collection, Fallon pointed out two marionettes in the groundwork that resembled him and Conan (to which the mentioning of his proper name received great applause), saying the husband owned the "NBC Late Night Marionette" collection.^{[ citation needed ]} O'Brien was also mentioned on the first season finale of the NBC series Community, when the character Starburns yelled out that NBC should "bring back Conan."

Mentioning of O'Brien on Leno's This evening Show [edit]

On the April 6, 2010 episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, guitarist Slash performed the song "By the Sword" with Andrew Stockdale, lead singer of Wolfmother, the get-go unmarried from Slash's self-titled debut solo album. During the functioning, there were very few close-ups of Slash. TMZ reported that this was considering Slash was wearing a pivot depicting Mike Mitchell's "I'm With Coco" affiche during the performance, which they illustrated with a closeup still showing the pin.^[91]

On the May 5, 2010 episode of The This evening Bear witness with Jay Leno, a gag involving Times Square bombing suspect Faisal Shahzad'southward fictional Facebook page mentioned "Team Coco" under his Favorites section, becoming one of the first jabs at O'Brien (though non mentioned out loud) by Leno.^[92]

On the June 8, 2010 episode, comedian Chris Rock made an appearance. During the interview, he made a few subtle references to O'Brien's stint as host and went on to telephone call Leno a "bad, bad human."^[93]

On the June 10, 2010 episode, guest Denis Leary stated that he had created a Twitter account because he heard Conan O'Brien got one. Leno mentioned that he too has a Twitter business relationship.^[94] The comment and the question were non nowadays in clips of the interview on the NBC website.

On the July 8, 2010 episode, immediately after the 2010 Emmy nominations were appear, Leno indirectly referred to The This evening Show under O'Brien by quipping that the good news was that The Tonight Show had been nominated for 4 Emmys. The bad news was that none of them were his. On the July 9 episode, Jay showed an altered tape of him interviewing LeBron James. When Leno asked James if he had chosen a team, James held upwards a affiche reading "Team CoCo", to which Leno said, "Well, he did get four nominations."

2010 Primetime Emmy nominations [edit]

On July eight, 2010, The Tonight Prove with Conan O'Brien was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series; the comparing was made past most media outlets that neither Jay Leno'south version of Tonight nor The Jay Leno Bear witness, both of which were also submitted for consideration, received a nomination in the category.^[95]

Other 2010 Primetime Emmy nominations include Outstanding Art Direction in a Variety, Music, or Nonfiction Programming, Outstanding Directing for a Diverseness, Music, or Comedy Series and Outstanding Writing for a Diversity, Music, or One-act Series.^[96]

The writing and directing categories in which O'Brien's This evening Testify was nominated have been cutting from the Emmy broadcast due to a deal that the Emmys reached with the WGA and DGA last twelvemonth to alternate between the writing and directing awards for Diversity, Music, or Comedy Series and Diversity, Music, or Comedy Specials. These accept been moved to the Artistic Emmys circulate, however fans have been mounting a campaign to become at least the writing award for series back on the prime time Emmys broadcast.^[97]

At the Creative Arts Emmys, The Tonight Bear witness failed to win any of the three awards they were upwards for that night. The Tonight Testify too failed to win the Emmy for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series, losing to The Daily Show.

2014 transfer of The This evening Show to Jimmy Fallon [edit]

A short clip (less than one second in length) of O'Brien appeared in an early promo for Fallon's Tonight Bear witness, which portrayed Fallon equally the latest custodian of a 60-twelvemonth-erstwhile franchise and featured all Tonight hosts of the past, most prominently Carson and Leno.^[98] In interviews, Fallon has included O'Brien when referring to Tonight history, noting himself as the sixth host in succession (counting Leno only in one case, and not counting the hosts during the show's cursory incarnation as a newsmagazine in 1957).

While alluding to (and joking about) the 2010 controversy many times over his last few weeks on the air, Leno did non straight acknowledge his seven- month absence from the franchise, nor did he admit O'Brien by name every bit he concluded his tenure as host. During the Feb 6 episode of Conan, which aired the same nighttime as Leno's final episode, O'Brien referenced Leno in his monologue by mentioning the start of the 2014 Winter Olympics, proverb that "NBC will finally become to testify someone who is okay with passing the torch". Following applause from the audition, O'Brien said, "I allowed myself one, but it was a good i."

The This evening Evidence Starring Jimmy Fallon premiered on Feb 17, 2014. Fallon told a couple of jokes during his first Tonight Show monologue that referred to the Conan/Leno fiasco. He said in his monologue, "Welcome, I'grand Jimmy Fallon and I will exist your host... for now!" – taking a jab at the situation O'Brien went through. Fallon connected his monologue, saying, "Of course I wouldn't be here tonight if it weren't for the previous This night Show hosts, so I want to say 'thank you' to Steve Allen, Jack Paar, Johnny Carson, Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, and Jay Leno."
