Nesting Orientalisms
Nesting Orientalisms is a concept introduced by Milica Bakić-Hayden, a visiting lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh. It is based on gradation of "Orients", i.e. otherness and primitiveness. As developed by Milica Bakić-Hayden, Nesting Orientalisms is a conceptual variant of Edward Said's theory of Orientalism; an additional influence is Larry Wolff, but, in fact, she already had used the term ‘Nesting Orientalism’ in the article ‘Orientalist Variations on the Theme “Balkans”: Symbolic Geography in Recent Yugoslav Cultural Politics” (1992), co-author Robert Hayden, before Wolff published "Inventing Eastern Europe".
One Times Square
One Times Square, also known as 1475 Broadway, the New York Times Building, the New York Times Tower, or simply as the Times Tower, is a 25-story, skyscraper, designed by Cyrus L. W. Eidlitz, located at 42nd Street and Broadway in New York City. The tower was originally built to serve as the headquarters of "The New York Times", which officially moved into the tower in January 1905. Eight years later, the paper moved to a new building, 229 West 43rd Street. Even after the "Times" left, One Times Square remained a major focal point of Times Square due to its annual New Year's Eve "ball drop" festivities, and the introduction of an electronic news ticker at street-level in 1928.

2010 Tonight Show conflict
The 2010 "Tonight Show" conflict was a media and public relations conflict involving American television network NBC and two of its then-late-night talk show hosts, Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno. Leno, the host of long-running franchise "The Tonight Show" since 1992, and O'Brien, host of "Late Night" since 1993, were strong ratings leaders for the network for much of the decade. When O'Brien's contract neared its end and he was courted by other networks in 2001, NBC extended his contract and essentially guaranteed him he would be the fifth host of "The Tonight Show". The network neglected to let Leno know this until his contract extension in 2004, when they informed him he would remain host for five more years and then transition the show to O'Brien in 2009.
The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien
The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien is an American late-night talk show that featured Conan O'Brien as host from June 1, 2009, to January 22, 2010, as part of NBC's long-running "Tonight Show" franchise. O'Brien previously hosted NBC's "Late Night with Conan O'Brien", which followed "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" for 16 years, until his brief succession over Leno. Many members of the "Late Night" cast and crew made the transition to "The Tonight Show". The Max Weinberg 7, the house band from O'Brien's "Late Night", served as the house band under the new name, Max Weinberg and The Tonight Show Band.

The Jay Leno Show
The Jay Leno Show is an American talk show created by and starring Jay Leno. Premiering on NBC on September 14, 2009, the program aired on weeknights at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT through February 9, 2010. The program was modeled upon the format of a late night talk show—specifically, Jay Leno's incarnation of "The Tonight Show", opening with a comedic monologue, followed by interviews with celebrity guests and other comedy segments. Sketches from "The Tonight Show" (including "Headlines" and "Jaywalking") were carried over to "The Jay Leno Show", along with new sketches. The program was the result of a compromise by NBC Universal's then-CEO Jeff Zucker to keep Jay Leno with the company following his retirement from "The Tonight Show" and replacement with Conan O'Brien.
