NBC says no deal has been made with Jay Leno regarding a new contract for an hour-long Tonight Show at 11:35, reports USA TODAY's Gary Levin. (TMZ reported earlier today that a new contract had been negotiated.)

Of course, it wouldn't be a huge surprise if this happened. Back in November, Leno told Broadcasting & Cable, "sure," he'd take the 11:35 job back if it was what NBC wanted him to do.

As for a People.com report saying that Jan. 22 is "likely" Conan O'Brien's last day, NBC had no comment. O'Brien had months ago planned for the show to be on hiatus the week of Jan. 25, so he will be off then. As for whether he'll come back and do two more weeks is unclear.

O'Brien's personal publicist, Leslee Dart, tells TVGuide.com: "I know there's a rumor out there that next Friday is his last show, but we do not know that to be true. He is just moving ahead, day-to-day, doing the show, per his contract — still working." Dart said she did not have any update on O'Brien's plans or negotiations, but said there are "certainly conversations going on between his people and NBC." She added he plans to keep hosting The Tonight show "until somebody tells him not to."
