Jay Leno was out riding in California in one of his many antique cars recently and he had a problem. Leno's 1907 White Steam Car started spewing smoke, causing him to stop for repairs. Leno corrected the problem with help from random people who got him some much needed water. Given the state of the ratings on "The Tonight Show," the irony of Andover's own riding around in an outdated vehicle isn't lost on us. We wondered if Conan O'Brien have pee'd on Leno's car to fend off the smoke?

Now that Jay Leno has returned to late-night television, Conan O'Brien is relegated to planning some kind of tour while entertaining us via Twitter. Twitter is ever so helpful as means for Conan to joke about the iPad and Peeps. Leno seems securely ensconced behind his new Tonight Show desk. He's reportedly beating David Letterman in the ratings, and also told Joy Behar "Conan got screwed and I got screwed...The reason [this] business pays a lot of money is, when you get screwed you have something left over." For what it's worth, CelebJihad.com said Leno said that comment was intended as an April Fool's Day joke.
Conan O'Brien and NBC are reportedly close to agreeing on a deal that would allow him to leave the network about six months after taking over "The Tonight Show" in 2009.

Displaying little loyalty toward Brookline-born Conan O'Brien (as opposed to New York–born Jay Leno), Globe commenters wish failure on O'Brien as he prepares to take over The Tonight Show from Leno tomorrow evening. Comments quickly escalate from assigning O'Brien "little talent" to awarding him "no talent" to calling him a "total tiurnoff [sic]" and predicting "conan will tank." Some even accuse NBC of promoting an Obama agenda through O'Brien's assignment (which was made long before the election, right down to the date of the transition).
