On January 7, 2010, multiple media outlets reported that "The Jay Leno Show" would be moved from the 10p.m. Eastern time slot to 11:35 p.m. and "The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" would be moved from 11:35 p.m. to 12:05 a.m. effective March 1, 2010, the first time in its history that the show would begin after midnight in the Eastern Time Zone. On January 12, 2010, O'Brien publicly announced in an open letter that he intended to leave NBC if it moved "The Tonight Show" to any timeslot after midnight in order to accommodate "The Jay Leno Show" at 11:35 p.m. ET. He felt it would damage the show's legacy, as it had always started after the late local news since it began in 1954. After several days of negotiations, O'Brien reached a settlement with NBC that allowed him to leave "The Tonight Show" on January 22, 2010, ending his affiliation with NBC after 22 years. Leno began his second tenure as host of "The Tonight Show" on March 1, 2010, after the 2010 Winter Olympics, but only after major controversy. Leno's second "Tonight" iteration was taped at NBC's Studio 11 in Burbank, the former home of "The Jay Leno Show", with a modified version of that show's set. After leaving NBC, O'Brien began hosting his new late night talk show, "Conan", on TBS on November 8, 2010, after the non-compete clause in his NBC contract had lapsed.
