Conan O'Brien has refused a 12:05 a.m. "Tonight Show" gig. It is reportedly the first time anyone has said "No" to NBC CEO Jeff Zucker since at least 1992.
......In a continued effort to keep costs down, Zucker is said to be considering a daily 10-11 p.m. reality show featuring Matt Lauer playing pop hits on a clarinet shoved up his ass.
