Jay Leno may have the show, but Conan has the Emmy nomination.

"The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien" — and not "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" — is among the nominees for the Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series Primetime Emmy.

TBS, which will air Conan's new show beginning in the fall, began a campaign last month to have Conan's previous work on "The Tonight Show" nominated for the Emmy.

The New York Times' Bill Carter wrote in June:

As incongruous as it may be to have a cable network urging an award for work done on a broadcast network, that might be topped if Mr. O'Brien does score an Emmy nomination. He would then be a prominent part of this year's award ceremony, which will be broadcast Aug. 29 -- on NBC.

Also nominated in the category are "The Colbert Report," "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart," "Real Time with Bill Maher," and "Saturday Night Live."
