[edit] Trivia

I plan to delete the remaining trivia bits - the CST NYE countdown, and the Stoned award. Since these are actual notable qualities of Late Night, I'm giving editors the opportunity to put them in a proper place in the article if possible, before I delete them and the trivia section itself.

[edit] Conan's 1/2/08 mid writers strike return

Whoever is adding that Conan, Leno, and Kimmel returned only came back because of the ratings competition between themselves and Letterman and Ferguson should know that the real reason they came back was that their entire non-writing staff (lighting people, sound and camera people, temps, interns, and all the behind the scenes people) would have been fired if they didn't come back with new episodes. - 99.237.9.80 (talk) 00:38, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I see that you know a pretty good deal of info on this subject, and by contributing, you are certainly improving this article. However, i would ask you that if you decide to revert to older versions or change something important in the article to give a reason for such a change.

It seems to be back to repeats this week. What gives? Are they skipping on more live shows? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.90.113.66 (talk) 04:32, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, what gives? Its been a bunch of reruns since monday. Are they having trouble booking guests or something?--124.106.234.224 (talk) 15:29, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
It's called vacation, people. Conan does this every once in a while to give him and his staff a break. This is likely not strike related. - 99.237.9.80 (talk) 17:46, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

For the week of 3/3/2008 is Conan filming on location or just a vacation? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt on Wiki (talk • contribs) 02:37, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Logo Image

Anyone else think the title card should be replaced with the logo? 40px--Tkgd2007 (talk) 03:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Agree.Λua∫Wise (talk) 09:43, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Agree --70.75.43.62 (talk) 06:14, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Sure - 99.237.9.80 (talk) 17:47, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
Agreed. (ApJ (talk) 05:02, 5 February 2008 (UTC))
Awesome! It's up there, thanks for agreeing! Tkgd2007 (talk) 05:40, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] New reference?

Reference 3 no longer links to the article from which the info was pulled (which, by the looks of it, is quite a bit). Does that mean that we have to find new references? TruPhan (talk) 01:04, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Beef with Comedy Central's Jon Stewart and Colbert over ownership of Mike Huckabee?

We should somehow mention this in the article. In The Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert claimed Mike Huckabee's success as caused by "the Colbert Bump". Following this, O'Brian retaliated by claiming Huckabee by showing how he had given Colbert a "bump" on his show, which would have caused his rise to fame and being able to later give Huckabee the forementioned Colbert Bump. Later, Stewart claimed Huckabee since he had given O'Brian a bump on his previous show long before Conan got his current fame. There has been no official response from Huckabee himself so far. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.145.112.69 (talk) 19:27, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

If nothing of it has been added so far, it should be. (ApJ (talk) 05:01, 5 February 2008 (UTC))

wait for it to be over with, after its done we should defiantly add it to to the memorable moments section. Gailim (talk) 05:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Good point, it's continuing on Late Night tonight, so we need to wait for what happens anyway. (ApJ (talk) 05:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC))

OMG! Further escalation! They beat each other up over it! All three (Colbert, Stewart and O'Brian) appeared in all three shows, taunting after which they started an actual brawl! It was even topped off by a statement from the actual Mike Huckabee himself, explaning that "this great nation" made him, not "these three idiots" :D For the video (as a reference/source), see: [[1]] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.145.112.69 (talk) 11:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Late Night Conan Logo.svg

Image:Late Night Conan Logo.svg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
