Since NBC no longer has an interest in Conan, TBS has bought Emmy ads for his Tonight Show run. The networks usually take out ads to get their shows nominated, and with NBC's severed ties with Conan, it's not surprising that they wouldn't buy ads for his show.



But, as the Variety article muses, it would be funny if Conan's show wins an Emmy while Jay Leno does not (NBC has bought ads for Leno).
