SERVICES TO SHARE THIS PAGE. As you know, Deadline’s TV Editor Nellie Andreeva is still traveling… _Broadcasting & Cable_ is reporting that TBS‘ _Lopez Tonight_ is shaking up its

producing ranks. “Leaving the show are executive producers Mike Gibbons and Jim Paratore, and sources say that coming in as executive producer will be Robert Morton… Gibbons’ option for a

second year with the show was not picked up by the show.” Morton is the longtime producer and Letterman alum who has worked on several shows, including those starring Wayne Brady, Carlos

Mencia and David Alan Grier. Paratore has launched several shows including TMZ and Bonnie Hunt and then, once they are up and running, moves on to new projects. Gibbons credits include

creator and executive producer of Comedy Central’s _Tosh.O_, and executive producer of _Talk Show With Spike Feresten_ on Fox as well as _The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn_ and _The

Showbiz Show With David Spade_. The shuffle comes as _Lopez Tonight_ moves back one hour to make way for the launch of Conan O’Brien’s new TBS show at 11 PM. 12 Comments JavaScript is
