Late Night with Jon Stewart in 2009?

June 19, 2007 Media, News, Television, Entertainment

NBC execs recently met with Jon Stewart to let him know they are interested in doing business with him if he “ever becomes available.”

This could mean 2009 will bring us Late Night with Jon Stewart, after Conan O’Brien takes over The Tonight Show from Jay Leno:

NBC Universal biggies Jeff Zucker and Marc Graboff recently had “exploratory” talks over dinner with Jon Stewart, Broadcasting & Cable reports, suggesting that the Daily Show frontman might somehow fit into the Peacock’s late-night plan. Rather than pitch Stewart anything specific, a source tells B&C, Zucker and Graboff “just made their interest known in finding a way to do business together if Jon was ever available.”

There is always the chance that NBC decides to reneg on their contract with Conan to keep Jay Leno in the 11:35pm slot. O’Brien would get millions of dollars and might or might not stay at Late Night. Then Carson Daly would have to worry…
