The Late Shift, Cont...

NBC is moving forward with their next great idea, and moving Jay Leno and his big dumb Harley back to 10:35 (CST)... Conan will be backed up to 11:05, and then Jimmy Fallon will begin @ 12:05. Evidently this will all take place after the Winter Olympics conclude. Although it sucks Conan is being kicked all over the place for the sake of a guy who isn't really funny at all, there are a few silver linings here. For one thing, O'Brien won't have to compete with the Colbert Report anymore, which is surely affecting Tonight Show ratings right now. In addition, this creates the opportunity for NBC to actually put real shows on @ 9:00 again, which, despite opening the door for more awful reality garbage, hopefully ensures that shows like Chuck don't go the way of Life (I'm still steaming about that). Finally, this should mean that someone will have to take over Carson Daly's spot at the top of the list of people who least deserve to have their own late-night talk show (I vote Chelsea Handler). Last call, Carson!
