Los Angeles. But as of January 2010, he will no longer be hosting the Tonight Show and Jay Leno will take over again after his 10 p.m. got terrible ratings.
Currently the host of The Tonight Show is the long time host Jay Leno. The hosting position originally belonged to Johnny Carson and Conan O'Brien had hosting duties for about a year before Leno took over again.
The Tonight Show is taped on Stage 1 of the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot.
When Jay Leno left The Tonight Show the first time, Conan O'Brien became the host but when Conan failed Jay Leno resumed hosting duties and when he left the second time, Jimmy Fallon took over as host.
Jimmy Kimmel dislikes Jay Leno because Jay came back to the Tonight Show after Conan took over.
There is no reason to believe Seth Meyers will be taking over as host of The Tonight Show.
According to several sources including the Chicago Sun Times Conan O'Brien signed a long-term deal with NBC in early 2002 that pays him roughly $8.5 million per year. In June of 2009 Conan will be taking over The Tonight Show when Jay Leno moves to his new 10:00 talk show time slot. According to Forbes Jay Leno currently is being paid $32 million for hosting the Tonight Show, so it is a safe assumption Conan will be getting a somewhat similar salary once he takes over the talk show.
Jay Leno replaced Johnny Carson as host of The Tonight Show in 1992, after having been a regular substitute host for Carson since 1987
Bob Hope holds the record for the most appearances on The Tonight Show, with over 100 appearances. Hope was a beloved comedian known for his quick wit and charm, making him a favorite guest on the show.
When Jay Leno took over the Tonight Show, he first chose jazz saxophonist and bandleader Branford Marsalis as Musical Director and leader of the Tonight Show band; this was a role he occupied until 1995, when Kevin Eubanks took over that position.
