Late Show with David Letterman

By matt@iscribelimited.com (Hilton Hater) As Kimmel explained in his sharp monologue last night, he expected this to be an actual comedic showdown, not some lame interview in which Leno offered no witty retorts. We'll let Jimmy take it from here... Jimmy Kimmel Monologue Jay Hurts

By Brad Trechak In short, just about the last person who would inherit The Tonight Show would be the guy hosting Late Night. More likely, the successor will be the person who is Jay's most frequent substitute host. That is, unless Jay gets a robot body like Dick Clark, in which case he'll never leave The Tonig...

By Bob Sassone So what does a celebrity do when he wants to look good to the public again? He goes on Oprah of course! Now...will Oprah give Conan a chance to be on her show at some point? Who will get the first interview with Conan anyway? I pray it's David Letterman, on March 1. 

By Whitney Jefferson There have been three hosts of Late Night and if there's one thing I've learned from Dave and Conan, it's that hosting this show is a one-way ticket to not hosting The Tonight Show. - Jimmy Fallon As a part of the settlement, Conan will not be allowed to bad-mouth NBC. Eh, don't worry, leave it to...

By Bob Sassone You can probably guess the answer. He says that he even though he likes both Leno and Letterman, he "doesn't feel any allegiance to Jay" and he "never left on bad terms with Letterman." Hall started his career on Letterman's old Late Night show at NBC. He says that no one at Leno's show has called...

By Adrian Chen The great "Jay Leno Show" experiment has failed. NBC will likely move Leno back to the 11:30 slot he had improbably dominated for more than a decade. Conan gets screwed. Which is weird, because this is completely Jay Leno's fault. The universe sucks, and so does Jay Leno. Blame Leno.

By steve@thehollywoodgossip.com (Free Britney) Robert Halderman, the alleged "mastermind" of a $2 million extortion plot against David Letterman, is just throwing everything at the legal wall at this point. Except for the part where he deliberately tried to shake Letterman down.

By Richard His disastrous Letterman interview brought Joaquin Phoenix's whole quitting-acting-to-become-a-bearded-rapper shtick to a dizzying climax last night. Dave played it off as legit. Others think it's all an Andy Kaufman-esque hoax. We think it's both!

By Ryan Tate This time around, Phoenix has either come unhinged again, or wants the world to think he has.
