NBC announced this morning that Jay Leno's last day as host of the "Tonight Show" will be on Friday, May 29th.
Conan O'Brien will take over the following Monday, June 1st, for a smoothless transition according to NBC Entertainment Co-Chairs Ben Silverman and Marc Graboff.
Speculation continues to have Leno going to ABC as host of a new show at 11:35 p.m. that will displace Nightline.
Still, we scratch our head as to why NBC would jeopardize losing their late night leading position with a move at this time. While Conan does well, he isn't Leno.
