Dialing in from Deer Valley
Did the most monumental decision in television since, oh, say Thursday, get made on the slopes of Deer Valley? It's a possibility.

TV mavens - such as my colleague Vince Horiuchi, writing on his Village Vidiot blog - are abuzz about the news that Jay Leno will score a primetime gig on NBC after he bequeaths his seat on "The Tonight Show" to Conan O'Brien in 2009.

Ben Silverman, the co-chairman of NBC Entertainment (who, presumably, would have a substantial role in this move), was in Utah over the weekend, taking part in the Deer Valley Celebrity Skifest.

One imagines Silverman racking up the wireless minutes brokering this deal on the slopes. One also wonders why, with NBC circling the drain and firing executives, Silverman is wasting his time in Utah.
