Toward the end of The War for Late Night, Jay Leno is feeling kicked around, Conan O'Brien is depressed, and NBC Universal Chief Executive Officer Jeff Zucker is enraged enough to shout expletive-laden threats into the phone as his plan for late-night domination collapses.

In The War for Late Night, Carter, a New York Times media reporter since 1989, has created a companion to his 1994 best-seller, The Late Shift, about the post-Johnny Carson succession imbroglio. Carter long ago cemented his reputation as the Bob Woodward of the 11:35 time slot, and he treats those who would inhabit it with a Presidential seriousness.
