In their video proposal to Conan O'Brien, the Pasadena Community Network has offered a number of enticing ideas for the production of a new show on the network, including filming the show on other celestial bodies such as the moon.
In response to the recent time slot shuffle and re-shuffle among “Tonight Show” host Conan O’Brien and prime time experimenter Jay “Big Jaw” Leno, the Pasadena Community Network has offered embattled late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien a cable production deal to bring his show to PCN’s Arroyo Channel.
According to PCN brass, this a real, legitimate offer for Conan O’Brien to produce his program in Pasadena at PCN Media Center’s state of the art facility.
A video invitation has been sent to Conan, who will be leaving NBC after network heads decided to put Jay Leno back in the 11:35 p.m. time slot, typically reserved for “The Tonight Show”.
O’Brien refused to move his show to 12:05 a.m., arguing that airing at that time would cause “The Tonight Show” to be, among other things, misnamed.
While PCN doesn’t have the resources of any of the national networks, it has said that it does have a dedicated staff who are more than happy to offer Conan the same treatment as any of the other producer who walk through their doors.
PCN officials have said that any production deal reached with Mr. O’Brien would not disturb the normal programming schedule.
As of press time, the O’Brien camp, who is also rumored to be in preliminary discussions with the Fox Network, had yet issue any response to the offer.
