Impatient Over Delays

[Blind Gossip] This funny and personable TV guy had to take a bit of time off from work to manage a personal issue.

How long does it take to manage a “personal” issue?

First it was a few days. Then weeks. His work commitments were all “postponed”. They said it was because they were retooling the show or remodeling the studio or some other such excuse.

Ha. They guy can’t stop shoving powder up his nose. They are out of excuses. Now they are telling him he has to set a firm date to come back to work or the show is cancelled.

He’s been through rehab but he still doesn’t really want to come back.

He’s not ready. He can do short appearances, but the show is a full-time commitment. He actually wants a few more months off. Maybe a year.

We’ll see if he goes back to work… or if they put out another delay excuse… or if they cancel the show.

    Carson Daly. His late night show has been in repeats for awhile now with no foreseeable return. He’s also had problems in the past with Colombian marching powder.

    I instantly thought Jimmy Fallon and the similar tag confirms it. He needs to step out of the fast lane before it completely consumes him…sad.

    I really don’t want this to be Jimmy Fallon, but you’re sure making it sound like him.

    Seriously though, I hope he pulls it together. I really like him…

    What to do? Find an interim host, then call People magazine and set up a cover story about your struggle with alcohol and depression (because more relateable/sympathetic than coke), and how you made the hard decision to step away from your show because you feel responsible for the livlihoods of so many others, but you want to inspire people struggling with addiction to seek treatment. Show stays on the air, you get sympathy – and the time you need to get well.

    Carson Daly.
    Last new episode was more than a month ago. Hope he is able to work through his issues and find some peace.

    I agree he has a problem, but I just don’t see The Tonight Show being cancelled. At most, I would think they’d fire him and hire a replacement.

    Carson Daly is a good guess because in issues like this you follow the trail of endless reruns. Fallon probably still lives life on the edge & is a ticking time bomb but he still does his show & I haven’t seen any bandages or reruns lately & he looks like he showers & shaves before he has his makeup put on . At one time Fallon used to look like a Cisco Swilling Vagrant when he came through the curtains & NBC Suits wouldn’t cancel the Tonight show , just go retro & use guest…

    Except it says cancel the show- they’ll never cancel the tonight show. Let’s go with Carson

    This blind suggests that the person has been in and out of work. Jimmy Fallon has been working for months with no break except the Christmas break.

    Not Conan. He’s been on tour the last few months, and started his new season (30-minute format, no band) last week.
