Editing Last Call with Carson Daly (section)

===2010===
On January 8, 2010, it was reported by multiple media outlets that ''[[The Jay Leno Show]]'' was moving to 11:35&nbsp;p.m., the [[Conan O'Brien]]-hosted ''[[The Tonight Show|Tonight Show]]'' to 12:05&nbsp;a.m., and ''[[Late Night with Jimmy Fallon]]'' to 1:05, which would have resulted in ''Last Call'' losing its time slot (as NBC did not include plans to move ''[[Poker After Dark]]'', at the time the show which followed ''Last Call'' in some markets, to a later slot). NBC confirmed the move, along with the possible end of ''Last Call''. NBC had repeatedly emphasized that its focus is retaining the lineup of Leno, ''Tonight'' and Fallon.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Daly |first1=Sean |date=January 16, 2010 |title=Just call him Conan O'Flyin' |url=https://nypost.com/2010/01/11/just-call-him-conan-oflyin/ |access-date=2025-03-26 |work=New York Post}}</ref> NBC chairman Jeff Gaspin told ''[[ABC News (United States)|ABC News]]'' he expected Daly to stay with the network "in some fashion", but did not elaborate.<ref>{{cite web |last=Bauder |first=David |date=2010-01-11 |title=What Will Conan O'Brien Do? |url=https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/what-will-conan-obrien-do/ |access-date=2025-03-26 |website=Seattle Times |agency=Associated Press}}</ref>

On January 9, after the lineup changes were first rumored in the press, Daly made an unannounced stop on ''[[Jimmy Kimmel Live!]]'', appearing from the crowd during an audience Q&A session with Kimmel. Daly jokingly asked, "What will happen to my show?" Referencing the contestant elimination process on the show ''[[Survivor (American TV series)|Survivor]]'', Kimmel responded, "As long as you have your [[Immunity (reality television)|immunity idol]], I think you're safe." Daly then asked, "Can I have your show?" Kimmel responded, "No."<ref>{{cite web|last=Robertson|first=Lindsay|url=https://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2010/01/carson_daly_shows_up_on_jimmy.html|title=Carson Daly Shows Up on Jimmy Kimmel's Show to Joke About Jay-Conan Stuff – Vulture|publisher=Nymag.com|access-date=March 23, 2012}}</ref>

After O'Brien was effectively forced to leave NBC and Leno was subsequently re-installed as host of ''The Tonight Show'', Daly remained at his spot and received a 4% surge in ratings. {{Citation needed|date=April 2010}}
