Former "Tonight Show" host Conan O'Brien will be taking his late night comedy act to cable network TBS beginning in November. The announcement came on the day O'Brien kicked off a 30-city tour of a comedy stage show that includes members of his former "Tonight" team. The Fox television network had been rumored as a landing spot for O'Brien after NBC paid him $32 million in February to give up the Tonight Show job so they could hand it back to Jay Leno.

A University of Rochester study found that older road warriors are now twice as likely to die in motorcycle crashes as they were 10 years ago. Riders aged 40 and over now make up half of those who are injured in motorcycle accidents. Source Link
