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. On January 21, 2010, NBC reached a $45 million settlement with O'Brien in order to end his contract. Leno resumed his duties as host of Tonight on March 1, 2010. Leno ended on February 9, 2010 after being on the air for only four months, with Entertainment Weekly calling the program television's "Biggest Bomb of All Time."

biography:
John Joseph Travolta 1954-ben született New Jersey államban. A hatgyermekes családból származó, immár világhírt elért John Travolta kezdeti színházi kísérletek után 1976-ban forgatta első filmjét, méghozzá egy horrortörténetet (Carrie). Utána gyors egymásutánban jöttek a jelentősebbnél jelentősebb szerepek az olyan népszerű, általában zenés filmekben, mint a Grease és a Szombat esti láz. Az ezeket követő hullámvölgyből egy csapásra újra az élre, a keresett világsztárok közé került a Ponyvaregényben nyújtott kiváló alakításával.

Oscar-díjra már kétszer nevezték, legutóbb az említett Quentin Tarantino-féle Ponyvaregényért, a drogos bérgyilkos félig komoly, félig komikus megformálásáért. Golden Globe-díjra pedig négyszer jelölték és ötödszörre a Szóljatok a köpcösnek című filmben játszott szerepéért meg is kapta e rangos kitüntetést.

biography:
Der US-amerikanische Schauspieler John Travolta ist einer der Überflieger in Hollywood – im wortwörtlichen Sinne. Denn neben seiner großen Liebe zur Schauspielerei pflegt der Filmstar schon seit vielen Jahren auch seine Passion für das Fliegen, besitzt eine Privatfluglizenz und mehrere Flugzeuge, darunter sogar eine Boeing 707, die normalerweise rund 200 Personen fasst.

Mit nur zwölf Jahren begann John Travolta Schauspielunterricht zu nehmen und brach vier Jahre später die Highschool ab, um sich Vollzeit der Schauspielerei widmen zu können. Zunächst in kleinen Rollen war der Schauspielstar vor allem auf der Bühne zu sehen. Mit 18 schloss er sich, damals selbst noch völlig unbekannt, dem Ensemble des Musicals Grease an und tourte durch die USA. Zu diesem Zeitpunkt rechnete John Travolta wohl noch nicht damit, nur wenige Jahre später durch seine Hauptrolle in der gleichnamigen Verfilmung des Musicals zum weltbekannten Hollywood-Star zu werden. Nach den Publikumserfolgen Grease und Nur Samstag Nacht (Saturday Night Fever) wurde es zunächst wieder ruhiger um Travolta, bis er 1994 mit seiner Rolle in Pulp Fiction endgültig durchstartete und Teil der etablierten Schauspielszene Hollywoods wurde.

2009 musste John Travolta einen harten Schlag in seinem Privatleben einstecken, als sein 16-jähriger Sohn Jett an einem Krampfanfall starb. Jett war der älteste der gemeinsamen Kinder von John Travolta und seiner Frau, der Schauspielerin Kelly Preston.

Travolta, le plus jeune de six enfants, est né et a grandi à Englewood, dans le New Jersey, une banlieue de New York. Son père, Salvatore Travolta, était un footballeur semi-professionnel devenu vendeur de pneus et partenaire dans une entreprise de pneus.

Travolta a épousé l'actrice Kelly Preston en 1991. Le couple a eu un fils, Jett (13 avril 1992 - 2 janvier 2009), et une fille, Ella Bleu, née en 2000. Le 18 mai 2010, Travolta et Preston ont annoncé qu'elle est enceinte du troisième enfant du couple. Le couple a régulièrement assisté à des consultations matrimoniales, et Travolta admet que la thérapie a aidé le mariage.
