Nice to know he and Barack made up. And also that he got to tell the story of saving his neighbor from her house fire.

Visiting his Late Night predecessor David Letterman for the first time since 1999, talk show host Conan O'Brien took the opportunity to discuss the infamous Tonight Show debacle with a man who knows a thing or two about Tonight Show debacles.

Though he's gained on him overall, Leno's lost 23% of Conan O'Brien's share of the coveted 18-49 y.o. demographic. All told, these are the worst ratings Tonight has had since it premiered, in the late 1850s. Still beating Letterman, though.

While Michael Douglas and David Letterman discussed throat cancer, Jay Leno had Kim Kardashian on The Tonight Show to apply makeup to Carrot Top. Given the individuals involved, it is almost shocking how slowly they start making the obvious jokes.

Conan O'Brien visited Google's corporate campus and apparently "killed," in part with a line discouraging people from watching his old show.

She's a Brit! Also today: The Onion keeps branching out, some news about movie festivals, Martin Scorsese will now be in 3D, and another TV remake.

The announced guests for Jay Leno's second show back at 11:35 are snowboarder/cannabis enthusiast Shaun White and television personality Sarah Palin. Which is a weird enough couch. But is the musical guest going to be Adam Lambert?

When the guy you pay to like you won't stay, it's beyond redemption. People reports that Leno sidekick Kevin Eubanks—whom Letterman dubbed "the guy with the guitar who laughs at everything"—is heading for the door. [People]

Most of Conan O'Brien's staff turned in their badges and Blackberries this weekend, and employee Aaron Bleyart documented the scorched earth affair. No, seriously, the place has been razed. NBC's preferred renovation appears to be explosives. [BAM]

The Wrap and the New York Times both report that a deal was finally concluded late last night. Conan's on his way with a $32m payout, and will be able to return to TV in eight months. The Wrap broke the story in the small hours, having talked to insiders in the negotiations. The Times confirmed it this morning. Conan…

Apparently the sticking point in negotiations over O'Brien leaving the network is securing decent severance deals for his staff. To which NBC counter that they wouldn't be unemployed in the first place if it wasn't for O'Brien.

Taiwanese newspaper Apple Daily has struck again, this time digitally re-creating the feud between Conan O'Brien, Jay Leno and Jeff Zucker as an animated superhero caper. NBC needs to option this immediately.

Conan is losing the "Tonight Show," but he's going to be just fine. TMZ has learned that Conan O'Brien is getting a $32.5 severance package—plus an extra $8 million or so in severances for "Tonight Show" employees.

Last night Conan O'Brien put his Tonight Show set on Craigslist: "guaranteed to last for up to seven months!!" and "Designed for 11:35 but can be easily moved." Shortly after the gag aired, the post was "flagged for removal."

Well, now that NBC has traveled a few months back in time and given Leno the "Tonight Show" back, they've wasted no time in filling his crucial 10 pm spot: Look forward to Jerry Seinfeld, "Law & Order," and "Parenthood."
