Earlier there were apparently concerns of NBC canceling Jay Leno (who was concerned about this?), but now TMZ reports that Jay will be staying with the network. However, he'll be moving back to his old 11:30 time slot, which means the future of Conan O'Brien is currently up in the air. They say, "We've learned Jay's 10:00 PM show will go on hiatus February 1. After the Olympics, Jay will take back his 11:30 PM time slot. What has not been decided — whether Jay's show will be a half hour, followed by Conan, or whether Jay's show will be an hour and NBC says sayonara to Mr. O'Brien." Will Conan come back to New York now? Watch your back, Jimmy.
