CONAN O'BRIEN and JAY LENO may not have their respective late-night shows much longer . . . but while they have them, they're apparently going to keep swinging. Here are some of Conan's NBC-related jabs:
--"Hello, my name is Conan O'Brien, and I may soon be available for children's parties."
--"Welcome to NBC . . . where our new slogan is, 'No longer just screwing up prime-time.'"
--"When I was a little boy, I remember watching 'The Tonight Show' with JOHNNY CARSON and thinking, 'Someday, I'm going to host that show for seven months.'"
--"NBC says they're planning to have the late-night situation worked out before the Winter Olympics start. And trust me, when NBC says something . . . you can take that to the bank!"
Here's Jay Leno's Latenight comments:
Jay didn't address Conan's statement. But he did joke, quote, "I have to tell you, the folks here at NBC don't handle these things well. They don't have a lot of tact.
--"Like, after they canceled the show, they told me if I put on 10 pounds I can get on 'The Biggest Loser'. That didn't seem right."

The new BEATLES have been found. Director ROBERT ZEMECKIS has hired four men to provide the voices for John, Paul, George and Ringo in his computer-animated "Yellow Submarine" remake. And they're all Brits.
The original "Yellow Submarine" came out in 1968 . . . and the Beatles didn't provide their own voices in that one, either. Four actors did the honors for the non-singing parts.
