AWOLNATION announced that they will be the musical guest on “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” on Friday, October 28th at 11:35pm Central. In case you don’t remember the band’s sound, which would be a shame, just think synthetic pop glory with intricate tempos and aggressive vocals. The Aaron Bruno project dropped their debut album, “Megalithic Symphony” on March 15th via Red Bull Records. The album’s single, “Sail”, has been dominating the Alternative Songs charts for 36 weeks straight, peaking at #5 and is currently climbing the Active Rock chart.

Jason Momoa has the biceps, vocal timbre and alpha-male attitude to seemingly carve out a successful career as an action movie hero. But before his commercial audition with the public in “Conan the Barbarian,” his leading man debut, there comes something even more potentially nervousness-inducing – the requisite pre-release juggernaut of press commitments. Momoa recently made his debut on “The Tonight Show,” chatting cars with host Jay Leno (he favors an old Cadillac) and suffering the characteristic new-guest embarrassment of having an old clip from early in his career (in this case, from “Baywatch”) pulled out and showcased. Amidst a packed itinerary that necessitated some rescheduling, he recently graced ShockYa with some…

With Conan O’Brien and Jay Leno receiving more hype now than when NBC switched their hosting duties last summer, as the network recently canceled Leno’s 10pm prime-time show and O’Brien is scheduled to film his last episode as “The Tonight Show” host on Friday, celebrities and fans alike are taking sides.  But O’Brien’s fans have one less reason to celebrate their favorite male red-headed comedian’s departure from the network that wronged him: NBC owns the characters recurring comedy sketches featured on both “The Tonight Show” and ‘Late Night With Conan O’Brien,” the Hollywood Reporter announced. That means if O’Brien accepts a job on another network, much like David Letterman did…

Jay Leno’s New Year’s wishes to keep his current 10 pm show have not been answered. NBC announced during the TV Critics’ Association (TCA) Press Tour in Pasadena yesterday that the hour-long Jay Leno Show, which premiered during the 10 pm eastern time slot in mid-September as a lead-in to local news broadcasts, has been canceled. Though the show initially debuted to high numbers after Leno stepped down as The Tonight Show host in May after 17 years, it has seen a steep decline in ratings during recent months. Since The Tonight Show with Jay Leno consistently brought NBC higher numbers than CBS’ Late Night with David Letterman, NBC Universal…

The All-American Rejects have announced they will be making a special appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight Monday, January 12th, to perform their hit single, “Gives You Hell.” Tune in at 11:35/10:35 C to catch Tyson, Nick, Chris and Mike rock NBC like never before! The All-American Rejects front man, Tyson Ritter, sings the verse to “Mona Lisa” for the 29th time. “All right, nice pass,” comments the voice behind the glass. “Some good stuff in there.” Producer Eric Valentine sits behind the console in his Barefoot Studios control room and imparts his bohemian brilliance. On the soundstage beyond the wall, the band o’ Oklahoma brothers track…

According to several news stories, including those by credible industry sources such as Broadcasting & Cable and TV Week, NBC will announce today that Jay Leno will take over the 9 p.m. slot on the network every weeknight starting Fall 2009. Leno will remain the host of “The Tonight Show” until May 2009 when Conan O’Brien, who currently hosts “Late Night” in the time slot after Leno, will take over for the show. Both shows have a similar format, featuring sketch comedy and celebrity guests, which is said to make the transition smooth. According to Kansas City Star TV critic Aaron Barnhart, the move will be a wise one. He…
