And the late-night war wages on: During the opening monologue of Tuesday's 'Tonight Show,' host Jay Leno took a subtle, blink-and-you'll-miss-it jab at former NBC rival Conan O'Brien. It came at the end of a joke about Faisal Shahzad, the man suspected of last weekend's attempted car bombing in Times Square, during which Leno highlighted Shahzad's fake Facebook profile page.

Posted May 5th 2010 at 02:25 AM by Rob Shuter

Conan O'Brien showed the world what's been going through his mind (and beard) since his ouster from 'The Tonight Show' and NBC during his '60 Minutes' interview this past week.

Posted May 3rd 2010 at 06:47 AM by PopEater Staff

It was his dream job, but after six months at the helm of 'The Tonight Show,' NBC squeezed Conan O'Brien out, and in his first interview the talk host says that the turmoil was much like an unexpected divorce.
