''The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien'' is an American late-night talk show that featured Conan O'Brien as host from June 1, 2009 to January 22, 2010 as part of NBC's long-running ''Tonight Show'' franchise. O'Brien previously hosted NBC's ''Late Night with Conan O'Brien'', which followed ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno'' for 16 years, until his brief succession over Leno. Many members of the ''Late Night'' cast and crew made the transition to ''The Tonight Show''. The Max Weinberg 7, the house band from O'Brien's ''Late Night'', served as the house band under the new name, Max Weinberg and The Tonight Show Band. Andy Richter returned to the show as announcer, and also began resuming his role as sidekick, shortly before the show's conclusion. The opening and closing theme song from ''Late Night'' was also carried over to ''Tonight'', in a slightly altered form. In January 2010, after the show had been on the air for seven months, it was announced that NBC was intending to move Jay Leno from primetime back to his original timeslot at 11:35 pm, with O'Brien's show starting shortly after midnight. In response to the announcement, O'Brien released a press statement saying that he would not continue as host of ''The Tonight Show'' if it was moved to any time after midnight to accommodate ''The Jay Leno Show''. He feared it would ruin the long and rich tradition of ''The Tonight Show'', which had been on after the late local newscasts from the beginning. After two weeks of negotiations, NBC announced that they had paid $45 million to buy out O'Brien's contract, ending both his tenure as host as well as his relationship with NBC after 22 years. Conan O'Brien's final ''Tonight Show'' was broadcast on January 22, 2010, with Jay Leno officially resuming his role as host on March 1, 2010, immediately following the conclusion of the 2010 Winter Olympics. It later received four Primetime Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series, the first time ''The Tonight Show'' received a nomination for this particular award after 2003. At only 146 episodes (145 aired) over the course of seven months and three weeks, it is the shortest-running iteration in the sixty-year history of ''The Tonight Show''. ==Format== The show followed the established six-piece format used previous hosts Jay Leno and Johnny Carson, as well as elements established by O'Brien during his tenure on ''Late Night''. The first segment included a monologue by O'Brien, sometimes accompanied by altered news clips, or several brief comedy sketches. Most episodes also included a second segment, immediately after the monologue, with a full comedy sketch. An interview with either one or two guests followed, as well as a musical or comedy performance. After the last performance segment, O'Brien walks on camera to thank the performers, and bids farewell to the audience, before recommending watching ''Late Night with Jimmy Fallon''. For the first six shows, the credits ran in the right half of a split screen, a former NBC standard that ''Late Night'' continued to use long after the network abandoned it. After episode seven, NBC's current practice of running credits at the bottom third of the screen was employed. The Conaco and Universal Media Studios production tags are then shown in full-screen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
