Conan O'Brien will take over the ''Tonight'' Show next June -- and what happens to deposed host Jay Leno after that is anybody's guess.

Leno's last show will be Friday, May 29, and O'Brien will start the following Monday, June 1, NBC executives said today.

The announcement, though, came through a bit of a gag by Leno himself ...

Fox’s long-rumored ‘‘Prison Break’’ spinoff might be less like ‘‘Private Practice’’ and more like ‘‘CSI: Miami.’’

Executive producer Matt Olmstead and co-executive producer Zack Estrin said Monday that they’ve ditched their previous plan to introduce a female character in the regular series and then spin her off into a separate show set in a women’s prison. Instead, they’re planning an entirely new series under the ‘‘Prison Break’’ brand.
