Jon Vs. Conan
In 2010??

Comedy Central announced Thursday that Jon Stewart is sticking with “The Daily Show” till 2010.
This means Stewart won’t be available to fill Conan O’Brien’s “Late Night” seat if O’Brien replaces Leno at “The Tonight Show” on schedule in 2009.
It also means that Stewart, who hosts the Oscars again early next year, will be available to take over CBS’ “Late Show” should David Letterman decide not to renew his current contract, which runs out in 2010.
Is this good news for Carson Daly? Bad news for Craig Ferguson?
Of course, if NBC elects to pay a huge penalty payment to O'Brien and keep Leno (who inexplicably gets better ratings than all of them), Stewart and O'Brien both might find themselves in contention to take over Letterman's desk. (A different type of “Jon Vs. Conan”!)
So many variables!
Supplemental factoid. If Conan does take over “The Tonight Show,” it looks like he won’t be getting the stage Leno now inhabits; NBC is selling that studio along with a good part of the network’s longtime headquarters in Burbank. A stage on the nearby Universal Studios lot is being prepared for “The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien.”
