Remember when NBC made a mess out of late night television when it chose Jay Leno over rival David Letterman as replacement for the legendary Johnny Carson?
Or when NBC replaced Leno with Conan O'Brien; only to later oust O'Brien and bring back Leno?
Well the Peacock Network is thinking of tweaking its late night lineup once again.
The New York Daily News reported talent agents have received feelers from NBC about finding a new late, late night host to replace Jimmy Fallon in 2014, which is when Leno's current contract ends. The understanding is that Fallon would move from 12:35 a.m. to the "Tonight Show's" 11:30 p.m. slot.
Earlier this year, Fallon told CNN's Piers Morgan that he would not turn down the "Tonight Show" if it was offered to him, though he does not consider it the “holy grail” that other comics do.
