That article was really fun to write. I found myself wishing it were true as I was writing it. In this crazy economic crisis, anything can happen, right? Well, almost anything. I guess my writing was too good.
NBC confirmed the final episode of "Last Call with Carson Daly" will air May 29, alongside the finale of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." With two full-length late-night programs originating from Los Angeles effective this September, NBC had been looking to relocate or otherwise refocus the 1:35 timeslot, according to a spokesperson for the network.
Before the article was indeed labeled a prank, I thought that this was a very smart move. It's a great thing you coincided Leno's retirement with this make-believe cancelling of the show, TC. Very smart.
