Wow. Conan is ****ing awesome. After the show he signed my ticket and told me happy birthday. What a class act. Great episode tonight guys. I dont want to ruin it, but this is one of the finer episodes I've seen. Max and the 7 are so much better in person too. Fantastic show. I still can't stop smiling.

The entertainment giant announces plans to leave its home of more than 50 years for new headquarters near Universal Studios.

NBC Universal is dropping the curtain on "beautiful downtown Burbank."

The media company, which made the town of tract houses the butt of endless jokes, but also brought it prominence as the base of "The Tonight Show," is decamping to nearby Universal Studios.

The media company announced today that it will sell much of the 34 acres it owns in Burbank, including the legendary NBC Studios at 3000 W. Alameda Ave.

The studio has a rich history, as home to such iconic programs as "The Tonight Show," first with Johnny Carson and now with Jay Leno, as well as "Hollywood Squares," "To Tell the Truth" and "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In." Elvis Presley taped his 1968 Christmas special there, and Tom Brokaw started his NBC career at KNBC-TV Channel 4, which shares the premises.

" 'The Tonight Show' put us on the map" said Burbank Mayor Marsha Ramos. "Without that line from Johnny Carson, about 'beautiful downtown Burbank,' most people wouldn't even know that we exist. When 'The Tonight Show' leaves, there will be a portion of our heart that will be empty."

NBC Universal said it was in negotiations with a buyer, whom it declined to name.

The company intends to relocate the network and local news operations from Burbank to a new headquarters in a massive complex planned a couple of miles away on Lankershim Boulevard, across the street from Universal Studios.

A Red Line subway station and a sprawling parking lot now occupy the proposed site next to the 101 Freeway. The subway stop will remain and be part of the new complex.

The new "green" facility, with its high-definition news headquarters, is scheduled to house NBC News' West Coast operations and the local news staffs of KNBC and Spanish-language Telemundo KVEA-TV Channel 52. NBC's syndicated entertainment show "Access Hollywood" would also be located there.

NBC Universal expects to move into the new center in 2011. The sale of the Burbank property was necessary in part to pay for the elaborate new facility.

The project is not NBC Universal's only ambitious expansion at Universal Studios. It is separately seeking approval for a $3-billion development plan for Universal City that would add 2,900 homes to the area, as well as new production facilities and retail space. The project, which must get county and city approval, could take several years to get off the ground.

NBC Universal also confirmed Wednesday that "The Tonight Show" would remain in Los Angeles when Conan O'Brien, who now shoots his "Late Night" show in New York, takes over from Leno in 2009. With the Burbank facility on the block, the network is expanding and upgrading Studio One, a soundstage on the Universal Studios lot that was built in 1961 for "The Jack Benny Program." The new home for the late-night program has had other memorable productions, including "Jurassic Park III" and "The Incredible Hulk," as well as the 1980s television show "Knight Rider."

NBC Universal three years ago made the controversial decision to give O'Brien the illustrious 11:35 p.m. time slot. That move in effect set a retirement date on "The Tonight Show" for Leno, who continues to be one of the network's most popular and bankable stars.

Conan's Back in LA. Neutral on this, would've liked him to stay in LA but don't know how it will be over there.

 

[Prison Mike]

Conan in LA? Sounds good to me although I will miss him NY.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Conan better take Abe Vigoda with him to Los Angeles. I expect that some of the stuff that made his show great will be gone from the show when he moves to Los Angeles.

I am interested in who they go to replace Conan when he heads back to Los Angeles, who will replace Letterman to compete with Conan after 2010 (they will be competing for one year) and if Jimmy Kimmel will still have his own show in two years.

If Leno was to be avaliable and still wanted to do a talk show, ABC would pounce on him so fast, they would either get rid of Kimmel, or move him back an hour.

When Letterman leaves, who makes fun of Regis?

And now, Conan's main competitor at his current timeslot, Craig Ferguson might be leaving too:

[Shifty]

Conan will be back January 2nd!

But Late Night's New Year's Eve Central Time Zone Countdown is another victim of the Writer's Strike. 2005 and 06 both had the 31st on weekends so we were denied the best way to ring in the new year, and now we'll have to wait another year. oh well. Consie is back in some capacity, should be interesting to see what he has to say.

 

[Prison Mike]

Yay! Conan is back. I will be watching.
