ScoopGods.com – The conflict is over. NBC has found a resolution to Leno’s unwillingness to leave the talk show business without reneging on their commitment to Conan O’Brien. Both comedians will do the show together, with Conan sitting atop Leno’s shoulders for the entire broadcast.
The LenO'Brien Show?
“Bam! What an idea I came up with,” said Jeff Zucker, head of NBC. “This solves the time slot bullshit and keeps both guys going AND there’s that crazy circus-like aspect. Watching Jay and Conan trying to do the show together… trying to balance… communicate… oh, it’s going to kick ass.”
Despite the news, the camps of both stars are not necessarily jumping for joy but have been working together on promotional bits and discussing different approaches. One specific problem has occurred which may require Conan to ride “side-saddle” due to Leno’s enormous chin. (See photo)
“Leno! You ass. You said you were quitting,” muttered Andy Richter, announcer for the Tonight Show, as he watched some of the initial tests. ”Conan’s being a great sport, but it’s going to be tough. Jay’s chin really messes with the conventional shoulder riding technique.”
Apparently, Leno seems to be ok with the deal and has had a tremendously positive attitude.
“Hey, I like this arrangement,” claimed Leno. “In fact I’ve been training. Levi Johnston is sitting on my shoulders right now. This show is going to change the late-night landscape. We are going to have to work together on our monologue, our interviews, our skits. It’s going to be entertaining.”
O’Brien could not be reached for comment, but the host’s agent was able to inform us that Conan was extremely agitated with the news and was considering his options despite his efforts to work with Leno.
“I just think that Conan feels that he shouldn’t have to do this,” said a spokesperson for O’Brien. ”I actually think Conan went over to Jay’s house to destroy his collection of vintage automobiles.”
In an odd twist, thousands of shoulder-riding fetish lovers gathered in rooms with high ceilings across the nation to show support for NBC’s move.
“NBC’s bold statement is going to show the mainstream that what we love to do is pretty damn hot,” said Terry Riseben, who had his shirtless friend sitting on his shoulders. ”Crotch on neck is the most intimate thing that two people will ever experience. When I’m riding, it’s like having a living pillow between your legs. When I’m carrying, it’s like having a highly advanced neck massager teasing your every muscle with each step you take.”
The change is due to happen in March and sources say that the firsts guests will be a team of cheerleaders from USC.
