In a last minute addition Lindsay Lohan will be on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno later on Tonight but the interview was pre-recorded yesterday and Radar Online reports that when she walked on set she received standing ovation from the crowd.
NBC are keeping most of the interview under wraps and only released the above clip from the interview but according to Radar Online she was asked “at what point did you realize, ‘Oh my God, I could lose this, this could slip away from me?’” He response was:
“I think that when, you know, being young and being in the position I was in, you don’t really take the time to appreciate what you have and it’s all kind of a whirlwind, and people make decisions for you, but I’m not a kid anymore — I’m 24, I’ve made a lot of mistakes and I recognize that. I’m in the clear now, and as long as I stay focused, I can achieve what I want to achieve.”
Yes you read read right she said she is “in the clear now,” obviously she is still living in the land of denial because she is still facing misdemeanor charges for robbing a necklace, was just sentenced to 120 hours of community service which involves working at a city morgue and she was released on $75,000 bail on Friday.
In the interview she also reportedly confirmed her role in the up coming Gotti movie which will also star John Travolta. You might also want to know that in order to fit Lindsay in for tonights show the producers bumpbed Kristin Chenoweth interview slot.
Dane Cook had a special surprise for Taylor Swift during their appearance on ‘The Tonight Show’ with Jay Leno on Monday night.
The comedian took off his shirt, revealing a tattoo of Swift’s face on his chest, and began to serenade the country singer.
“Taylor Swift, you’re a gift. Give me a lift to your heart, beating inside my chest, I did my best. Download it now,” Cook sang. “We love you Taylor, Taylor, Taylor Swift!”
After his performance, Swift got up and took a bow as the audience applauded Cook.
Soon-to-be-former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn’t have been more blunt on the topic of weed last night, when he told Jay Leno that in California, “No one cares if you smoke a joint or not.”
Schwarzenegger hit “The Tonight Show” to talk about the recent elections, when Leno brought up a pro-pot bill the gov just signed, making cannabis possession “like a speeding ticket.”
Schwarzenegger went on to explain that Prop 19, which would have sorta-legalized the recreational use of weed, wasn’t defeated in California because it was a bad idea, but because it was written poorly.
This isn’t the first time Arnold Schwarzenegger has spoken out in support of weed. He once famously puffed on a joint in the 1977 documentary, “Pumping Iron.”
Conan O’Brien is going to run his TBS show ‘Conan’ the way he wants to, and if that includes a masturbating bear, he will get his masturbating bear.
In an interview with Rolling Stone, O’Brien drew a line in the sand, daring NBC to try and sue him for using old ‘Tonight Show‘ and ‘Late Night‘ gags on his new show.
“If there’s something we did for a long time that we’ve established as ours, we’ll figure out a way to do it,” O’Brien says in RS’s Nov. 11 issue. “I won’t be denied my Masturbating Bear!”
If Conan wants to use some of the old gags from his days at ‘The Tonight Show,’ then he may face serious legal issues from NBC, but he’s not going to back down.
“What I really wanna do is be sued over the bear and then appear in court with the Masturbating Bear,” O’Brien says. “Your honor, this bear can’t help himself!”
Now that the dust has settled from the controversial spat between Conan, Leno and NBC, the new TBS late night honcho isn’t as bitter as he was before.
“Knowing what I know, I’m quite confident that what really happened really didn’t have much at all to do with what I was doing,” O’Brien says.
Knowing that the stakes of starting fresh at TBS are high, O’Brien knows he needs to go all out.
“I feel like, ‘OK, I’m going to go for broke,’ I have nothing to lose,” O’Brien says. “Let’s face it: I’m not going to do another television show after this one.”

In a somewhat unexpected move, Conan O’Brien has told NBC that he will not agree to moving “The Tonight Show” to after midnight to get the network out of the hash they created by moving Jay Leno to prime time.
In the last few days, I’ve been getting a lot of sympathy calls, and I want to start by making it clear that no one should waste a second feeling sorry for me. For 17 years, I’ve been getting paid to do what I love most and, in a world with real problems, I’ve been absurdly lucky. That said, I’ve been suddenly put in a very public predicament and my bosses are demanding an immediate decision.Six years ago, I signed a contract with NBC to take over The Tonight Show in June of 2009. Like a lot of us, I grew up watching Johnny Carson every night and the chance to one day sit in that chair has meant everything to me. I worked long and hard to get that opportunity, passed up far more lucrative offers, and since 2004 I have spent literally hundreds of hours thinking of ways to extend the franchise long into the future. It was my mistaken belief that, like my predecessor, I would have the benefit of some time and, just as important, some degree of ratings support from the prime-time schedule. Building a lasting audience at 11:30 is impossible without both.
But sadly, we were never given that chance. After only seven months, with my Tonight Show in its infancy, NBC has decided to react to their terrible difficulties in prime-time by making a change in their long-established late night schedule.
Last Thursday, NBC executives told me they intended to move the Tonight Show to 12:05 to accommodate the Jay Leno Show at 11:35. For 60 years the Tonight Show has aired immediately following the late local news. I sincerely believe that delaying the Tonight Show into the next day to accommodate another comedy program will seriously damage what I consider to be the greatest franchise in the history of broadcasting. The Tonight Show at 12:05 simply isn’t the Tonight Show. Also, if I accept this move I will be knocking the Late Night show, which I inherited from David Letterman and passed on to Jimmy Fallon, out of its long-held time slot. That would hurt the other NBC franchise that I love, and it would be unfair to Jimmy.
So it has come to this: I cannot express in words how much I enjoy hosting this program and what an enormous personal disappointment it is for me to consider losing it. My staff and I have worked unbelievably hard and we are very proud of our contribution to the legacy of The Tonight Show. But I cannot participate in what I honestly believe is its destruction. Some people will make the argument that with DVRs and the Internet a time slot doesn’t matter. But with the Tonight Show, I believe nothing could matter more.
There has been speculation about my going to another network but, to set the record straight, I currently have no other offer and honestly have no idea what happens next. My hope is that NBC and I can resolve this quickly so that my staff, crew, and I can do a show we can be proud of, for a company that values our work.
While I’ve got no dog in this fight — I’ve seldom seen O’Brien’s show (old or new), haven’t watched Leno’s new show, and won’t watch “Tonight” regardless of who’s hosting it or when it’s aired — I’ve come around to O’Brien’s way of thinking.
NBC made a bad choice six years ago when it kicked the can down the road and set Leno’s premature retirement into motion. It compounded that error by putting Leno up against the other network’s prime time dramas, not only screwing the network’s affiliates but also seriously hampering O’Brien’s chances to succeed in the franchise he waited so long to inherit. One can certainly understand, then, O’Brien’s not wanting to be relegated back to the midnight slot and screw over Fallon in the process.
One presumes, then, that NBC will figure some way to buy him out of his contract and that O’Brien will do what David Letterman did in a similar situation years ago: Move to another network and compete against “Tonight.” Fox has already issued a statement saying they’d love to have him.
In his first interview since conceding the presidential election, John McCain said Tuesday that Sarah Palin did not damage his presidential bid and he dismissed anonymous criticism aimed at her following their crushing defeat.
“I’m so proud of her and I’m very grateful she agreed to run with me. She inspired people, she still does, I couldn’t be happier with Sarah Palin.”
In an interview that mingled flashes of humor with political analysis, McCain did little to deflect responsibility from himself. He alluded to the difficult political environment for Republicans nationwide and conceded, “I could tell you a lot of things that we may have made mistakes on.” He never listed them.
“So, that’s the way it is,” he added.
Asked by Leno to address griping about Palin from unidentified McCain operatives in the days following the election, the Arizona senator said, “These things happen in campaigns.
“I think I have at least a thousand, quote, top advisers,” he scoffed. “A top adviser said? … I’ve never even heard of … a top adviser or a high-ranking Republican official.”
