In a monologue that avoided the pointed barbs of the epic struggle, Jay Leno returned to “The Tonight Show” stage Monday night repeating the phrase, “It’s good to be home.”

“I’m Jay Leno, your host … at least for a while,” he continued, alluding to the battle for the coveted NBC time slot with short-lived tenant Conan O’Brien.

“I’ve got to admit that I’m a little nervous,” said Leno, “not because it’s my first night back. Because I know that Dave and Oprah are watching.”

Leno then went back to business as usual in the monologue, lampooning everything from the Olympics, Russians, Dick Cheney’s heart problems, the Toyota recall and Tiger Woods. Leno then dramatically unveiled the new desk he’ll sit at during his tenure as host.

Thank God it’s Friday, right?

Even though we had Monday off, it seemed as though this week would never end. But it finally did and now it’s time to party with some of the greatest artists of our time.

Before we grab our wallets and help out those in need in Haiti, though, let’s take a look back at the week that was:

- The celebs wowed us on the Golden Globes Red Carpet.

- Ke$ha, who we’ll never understand, came out with a new album.

- Guys continued to wear questionable (and totally unacceptable) attire to the gym.

- We said goodbye to our favorite Guidos at The Shore.

- Cosmo taught us what our guys are saying…while they’re asleep.

- And The Dude taught us what guys look for in a girl.

- John Mayer revealed his inner A-hole to Rolling Stone.

- Conan O’Brien showed NBC who’s boss.

- We learned a few life lessons from our favorite TV shows, while a new show reminded us to live life to its fullest.

- We debated the ups and downs of the infamous bottomless purse.

Whew! What a freaking week. This girl needs a nap, stat.

The split between Conan O’ Brian and NBC is official, and like any break-up,  someone is sitting home, drinking tequila and crying themselves to sleep.

But surprisingly, that someone is not Conan O’Brien.
In fact, it looks like Mr. O’Brien might actually be doing better than ever.

While Conan may be totally getting the bad end of the deal with NBC, a bright hue of spotlight has been pointed directly in his path.  The publicity of The Tonight Show has been higher than ever, crushing his opponents, Letterman and Leno, in ratings.

But beyond simply tuning in to see what Conan has to say about the sitch (which, I admit, is the reason I started watching him), this entire debacle has given Mr. O’Brien tons of high-larious new material for the show. Seriously, the Tonight Show has never been better. Tell me you didn’t LOL when Conan went against the rules of bad-mouthing NBC by doing it in Spanish. “NBC is run by brainless sons of goats who eat money and crap trouble.” It’s Conan at his best.

And let’s be honest – America loves a good underdog story and Conan is most definitely the (insulting) underdog in this situation. He got Kanye’d and, much like Taylor Swift, now he’s got millions of people fighting for him across the country (there’s even an entire Facebook movement in support of him!) Sure, he had a strong fanbase before, but this has taken him to a level of fame he’s never seen until now.

It’s unfortunate that Conan is being pushed out of NBC, but with $45 million in his pocket and a whole slew of new super fans, getting the shaft might be the best thing that ever happened to this guy’s career. NBC, on the other hand, well their just effed.

You go, CoCo!

Is there anything better than a Friday afternoon? You’ve got nothing to do: no gym, no homework, no nothing but kicking back and relaxing all cool and shooting some bball outside of the school. And it’s even better when there’s a long weekend ahead!

And boy do we need this long weekend. This week – the first back at school for most of us – has kicked our butts. There was so much going on we nearly forgot to eat today… and eating is not something we ever forget to do around here. Especially when it comes to snacks that freshen up our faces.

Let’s reflect:

- Both American Idol and Project Runway kicked off this week.

- NBC and Jay Leno royally screwed over Conan and his dedicated fans.

- Not that we should be watching all that TV, anyway. That stuff is killing us!

- We debated whether it’s OK for girlfriends to hang with guy friends.

- And whether girls should have to get all dolled up to spend a night IN with their men.

- But how do we get a boyfriend anyway when these freaks are taking over the online dating world? Read More »

Does anyone else feel like they’ve been transported back in time? To 1992, to be precise. A time when Gameboys were cool and gas was only $1.05/gallon. A time when Leno and NBC clawed Letterman out of his deserved Tonight Show spot, against successor Johnny Carson’s wishes? I wasn’t old enough to understand but don’t worry – there’s a whole made-for-TV movie on it, “The Late Shift.”

Even if, at the time, I didn’t know what was going on, I came to develop a passion (shared with me by my grandmother and father) for late night. I’ve seen dozens of episodes of Johnny Carson, while my peers barely know his name, and hundreds upon hundreds of episodes of Letterman. They were beloved figures in my household. As I grew up, I became partial to Conan during high school. I would stay up past my bedtime with my sister, skimming right over Leno to catch me some Conan O’Brien.

As time went on, the natural progression of things began to unfold. Leno’s time was coming to a close and he turned the coveted 11:35 spot over to Conan. However, instead of bowing out gracefully, NBC decided to cut their high-budget dramas at 10:00 and replace it with “The Leno Show.” Um, okay…?

And now, after only giving Conan a few months in this new time slot and after altering the nighttime lineup, they’re making an executive decision to move “The Jay Leno Show” to 11:35 and bump “The Tonight Show” to 12:05.

And this is pissing a lot of people off. Namely, ME.

First it was Paris and Nicole. Then it was Edward and Jacob. Now, it’s Conan and Leno.

Yup, it seems the late night kings of comedy are splitting the country as they battle it out over air times.

Here’s the deal: Leno’s new gig at 10 p.m. isn’t working out so well. Shocking? Not so much. NBC moved him to this slot over the summer hoping he’d be cheaper entertainment then those super pricey dramas. And while Jay may be cheaper, he’s definitely not entertaining. NBC execs, therefore, are working on another little switcharoo which will move Leno back to his 11:35 slot. A slot currently occupied by Conan O’Brien.

So where is Conan supposed to go? Read More »
