This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | NBC late-night (specifically, 12:35-1:35 AM) Talk Show and training ground for other networks' 11:35 hosts. Began in 1973 as The Tomorrow Show hosted by Tom Snyder, but replaced in 1982 due to lower ratings and stations dropping it for Reruns with the current format. Originally hosted by David Letterman in the 1980s and early '90s. When Johnny Carson stepped down in 1992, Letterman expected to inherit The Tonight Show. Instead, NBC gave it to Jay Leno, previously a regular guest host, and Letterman jumped ship to CBS, taking the show lock, stock and barrel with him. That is, aside from the title "Late Night", which was owned by NBC. Letterman's new show, Late Show with David Letterman, was placed opposite Leno's Tonight Show. For reasons no one was quite sure of at the time, NBC filled Letterman's old post with an unknown Saturday Night Live and Simpsons writer named Conan O'Brien. |
