I'm out of town this week, so there won't really be explanations for my Top 5 picks (but don't worry, they're still below).
With Jay Leno ending his 17-year run as host of The Tonight Show on Friday to huge numbers, Conan O'Brien officially takes over the reins this week. It should come as no surprise that we're huge Conan O'Brien fans here at ShowbizMonkeys.com, specifically me.
Later tonight, this June 1st of 2009, The Tonight Show -- a late night institution that has been around for more than 50 years -- will welcome its 5th host. Conan O'Brien officially takes over for the departed Jay Leno (who's getting a new 5-nights-a-week primetime show in the fall) at 11:35pm.
There's been quite a break since I last posted the late night line-ups on ShowbizMonkeys.com, but I hope to keep this up regularly from now on.
So, we've unintentionally taken a few weeks off from posting the late night lineups on ShowbizMonkeys.com. Sure, there have been a few great guests over the last while, but this week is MUCH bigger.
Yes, I realize this is being posted a day late. Yesterday was Thanksgiving up here in Canada, and with that came lots of turkey, pumpkin pie, family... and forgetting to post this week's late night guests! My apologies for that.
Sorry about missing last week. By the time I realized this oversight, it was already mid-week, and the post would've been nearly pointless. But here we go again with another week of great late night comedy and some potentially great interviews.
First up, of course, is the list of who you don't want to miss no matter what.
Nothing beats a browser freezing right before adding a post! So to make sure I still got these up before most of the Monday shows aired, there's no explanations for who you should check out this week. But trust me on these ones...
Okay, so we're going to try something new this week. Aside from listing who's going to be on the various late night talk shows throughout the week, I'm also going to give you my picks for which guests NOT to miss.
After months of speculation, including "confirmed" reports from insiders at the end of April, NBC announced on Monday that former Saturday Night Live castmember Jimmy Fallon will be taking over Late Night following the departure of Conan O'Brien to The Tonight Show.
