TV Buzz Khloe Kardashian proves once again that she's the best Kardashian (even if she's not a real Kardashian). Here she is telling Jay Leno on Tuesday's “Tonight Show” that she not only predicted her sister's 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries wouldn't last, but also made clear to Kim her reservations about the union—and there were a lot of them!—before the fateful knot was (ever so loosely) tied.
TV Buzz Bill O'Reilly caught flak recently for harsh anti-drug statements he made while commenting on the death of Whitney Houston. Around the same time, O'Reilly received praise for defending Ellen DeGeneres against the anti-gay “One Million Moms” group. On Tuesday's “Tonight Show,” Jay Leno asked him about both.
TV Buzz Never before have I been so jealous of George Stephanopoulos. Jay Leno welcomed actress/comedienne Ali Wentworth to Wednesday's “Tonight Show” for what ended up being a highly charming chat about how she met her husband, George Stephanopoulos, the very Greek baptism of their daughter, and more. Here are some highlights.
TV Buzz Late-night wars come and go, but grudges last forever. Renowned Jay Leno-hater Howard Stern joined David Letterman on tonight's “Late Show” to congratulate Letterman on his 30 years in late-night TV. And since Letterman hates Leno just as much as Stern does, what better way to celebrate than by spending five minutes talking smack about him!
Culture Buzz Jay Leno's attempt to relate the Obama administration with the jury from Casey Anthony's trial is both confusing and unfunny (just like most of Leno's career!) and therefore nobody in the audience laughs. Then Jay does something hilarious for the first time in his life. Starts around 1:20
TV Buzz Conan O'Brien is back on TV with his new show Conan on TBS. After leaving The Tonight Show in January, Conan spent the better part of the year touring and creating online content (using his Twitter feed and website) to help build up a new fan base.
While performing on The Tonight Show last night, Slash wore the now iconic “I'm with Coco” badge in unabashed defiance. Not performing at all would have maybe been a more powerful message, but I suppose this works.
TV Buzz A selection of traditionally unenjoyable activities I would rather do than watch The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. The list could really go on forever. Add your own!
The user-generated tag cloud for Jay Leno's reiteration of The Tonight Show offers a view of what people really think of Leno's job performance so far.
To “celebrate” his return to The Tonight Show, Everything Is Terrible cut together clips from Jay Leno's 1989 film Collision Course. Nothing like a little old-fashioned racism and misogyny to win America over. Welcome back Jay!
TV Buzz NBC struck a deal with Jay Leno today giving him back the Tonight Show in it's original 11:30 spot, effectively excusing Conan O'Brien from the network. Apparently NBC hasn't been online the last two days, or else they would know how terrible that decision is.
“Master thespian” William Shatner reads former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin's resignation speech the way it was meant to be heard. Shatner 2012, anyone?
TV Buzz Friday's Late Night will be Conan's last before he heads out to Los Angeles to take over The Tonight Show from Jay Leno's chin. With Leno moving to 10 p.m., Conan's getting kind of screwed by NBC.
