Happy 50th Anniversary to the Tonight Show!! So, the ever-so-delicious Conan O'Brien of Late Night on NBC has just signed a contract to take over Jay Leno's position on the Tonight Show in 2009! According to the New York Times: "NBC made the news official in a press release this afternoon, after it was announced to the staffs of both shows early in the morning. Mr. Leno planned to tell his own television audience tonight on his program, already billed as a special edition because it is the official 50th anniversary of the first broadcast of "Tonight," with Steve Allen as host. Mr. O'Brien will become the fifth host in the show's history." Leno himself comments: "When I signed my new contract, I felt that the timing was right to plan for my successor, and there is no one more qualified than Conan. Plus, I promised my wife Mavis I would take her out for dinner before I turned 60." Picture Link
