The Tonight Show host Conan O'Brien released a public statement saying that he would not participate in moving Tonight to 12:05 a.m., asserting that it would damage the highly respected franchise. Despite much support for O'Brien from both the public and media professionals alike NBC maintained its plan to move Leno to 11:35.

biography:
John C. Reilly, de son nom complet John Christopher Reilly, est un acteur, producteur et scénariste américain né le 24 mai 1965 à Chicago, en Illinois, aux États-Unis.

Il est le cinquième des six enfants de parents catholiques irlandais et s'intéresse au théâtre dès l'âge de 8 ans.

Il obtient son premier rôle au cinéma dans le film Outrages (1989) réalisé par Brian De Palma. D'abord engagé pour un rôle mineur, il impressionne tellement le réalisateur qu'il se voit attribuer un rôle plus important. Il se fait ainsi remarquer et obtient rapidement des rôles dans d'autres films.

Le réalisateur Paul Thomas Anderson lui offrira certains de ses meilleurs rôles: un parieur compulsif dans Double mise (1996), une star du porno dans Boogie Nights (1997), un flic affectueux dans Magnolia (1999). Son rôle d'un soldat envoyé au front dans La Ligne rouge (1998) lui vaut une reconnaissance accrue. Sa carrière théâtrale est également une réussite.

Il tourne également sous la direction des plus grands réalisateurs tels que Martin Scorsese (Gangs of New York, Aviator), Sam Raimi (Pour l'amour du jeu), Wolfgang Petersen (En pleine tempête), Robert Altman (The Last Show), Woody Allen (Ombres et brouillard), Tony Scott (Jours de tonnerre) et Roman Polanski (Carnage).

Mais il n'hésite pas à changer de registre, passant du registre dramatique à la comédie notamment sous la houlette du duo Will Ferrell et Adam McKay en jouant dans Ricky Bobby: Roi du circuit et Frangins malgré eux ou en passant dans le film d'animation en prêtant sa voix dans Numéro 9 et pour Ralph le personnage principal de Les mondes de Ralph.

En 2014, il fait partie du casting du blockbuster de Marvel: Les Gardiens de la Galaxie.

En 1992, il épouse la productrice Alison Dickey, rencontrée sur le tournage d'Outrages, de Brian De Palma, dans lequel il incarnait un rôle secondaire, alors qu'elle était l'assistante de Sean Penn, l'acteur principal.

John C. Reilly est également musicien, jouant avec son propre groupe de folk-country, le "John Reilly & Friends".

biography: Director alemán nacido en una pequeña población de Renania del Norte-Westfalia, en el oeste del país. Estudió historia y literatura en la Universidad Libre de Berlín. Encerrada por el muro, Berlín occidental, en aquel entonces, era un peculiar biotopo en el que se mezclaban jóvenes que se habían escapado del servicio militar, muchos jubilados y decenas de miles de inmigrantes turcos. Tras los estudios académicos, vino el aprendizaje cinematográfico: Becker, siempre en Berlín, se inscribió en la Escuela Alemana de Cine y Televisión. Como trabajo de grado, allí presentó en 1987 su primer largometraje, Mariposas, una adaptación de un cuento del escocés Ian McEwan que le valió un Oscar estudiantil. Hasta la próxima película, La vida en obras (1997) pasarían diez años en los que Becker se entretuvo en la televisión, dirigiendo, entre otras producciones, un episodio de Tatort, los thrillers que, desde hace décadas, se estrenan cada domingo en la cadena de televisión ARD. La vida en obras fue muy exitosa en Alemania y obtuvo el premio Pilar Miró en la Semana Internacional de Cine de Valladolid, pero sólo contó con una restringida distribución internacional, todo lo contrario de lo que sucedió con Goodbye, Lenin (2003) todo un éxito internacional, que consiguió el premio Felix a mejor película europea del año.
