After 18 years of playing out Jay Leno on The Tonight Show (and for a few months The Jay Leno Show), Kevin Eubanks is playing himself off of the show in May. He is not sure what he will be doing next, but wouldn’t it be way awesome if he joined Conan O’Brien’s show on TBS?

For some reason George Lopez got a wax statue of himself at Madame Tussaud’s in Hollywood. As you can tell in these pictures he loved his wax statue, he really loved his wax statue. In all the times I have seen pictures of celebrities with their wax look-alikes, I never seen any of them kiss them like George Lopez did. There is just something so icky and so wrong about it.
So remember how generous it was that Conan O’Brien made sure that his former employees were taken care of when he decided to leave his show? Well now we can see what he got with the $12 million they got…he gets them to continue working for him. The soon-to-be-again talk show posted this picture on Twitter of them helping him come up with the Tweet of the Day and here is what they came up with for Conan O’Brien…”This is how many people it took to write today’s tweet: “Jumbo” shrimp? WTF!!” You know what in those 14 words, he was funnier than anything Jay Leno has said since he returned to The Tonight Show.
About 14 months NBC announced that they were (making the huge a$$ mistake of) moving Jay Leno from The Tonight Show at 11:30p and giving him his own weeknight show at 10p and today that show will air its last episode in that timeslot. NBC thought they would revolutionize TV, by bringing late night TV to primetime and all they did was destroy their affiliate and most of their shows’ ratings. So last month with their tails between their legs, they announced their failure and cancelled The Jay Leno Show. Tonight will be the last time Jay will be in primetime because after the Olympics the Indian Giver will be going back to the 11:35p timeslot. It will be interesting to see if he will be #1 again like he was before the failed NBC experiment or will Letterman be remain the new late night king. Personally I am hoping Jimmy Kimmel takes that title away from both of those dinosaurs, but sadly I don’t think will happen anytime soon…:(
Steve Harvey gets a new job, he is taking over for John O’Hurley as the host of Family Feud next season according to Broadcasting and Cable. I don’t know what is sadder that Family Feud asked Steve Harvey to host the show, or that he said yes? Seriously who knew this show was still on the air?
