In what sounds like a meeting with train-wreck potential, Conan O'Brien is scheduled to visit The Tonight Show With Jay Leno tonight at 10:35. Remember, O'Brien is supposed to take over the show in 2009 and Leno isn't particularly thrilled about it.

Recently, Leno began chatting with other networks and studios about a new late-night show, and has even taken to joking about getting shoved out the door.

So, maybe these two mule deer of late night will lock antlers and go at it? Actually, not likely. Both are classy guys, and Leno is legendary for his loyalty. All bets are that they'll play nice. Oh well.

If you were looking for Canterbury's Law on Fox on Monday, it wasn't there. The network moved the low-rated legal drama to Friday (at 8 p.m.), where it will shrivel away in obscurity. When a network moves a poorly performing show to the quiet neighborhood of Friday nights, there isn't much chance it will live.

Except, we all hope, in the case of NBC's terrific Friday Night Lights. NBC is looking around for ways to keep the show alive.
