Jay Leno: Other Networks Are Boycotting Me
Posted on Oct 01, 2009 @ 06:00PM
Are ABC and CBS out to get Jay Leno? The NBC comedian says that rival networks - who are worried that he’s stealing viewers from their costly dramas - are asking their stars to boycott his new primetime talk show.

“Both CBS and ABC have told their stars they can't do our show, so that must mean we're doing well,” Leno remarked Tuesday on his show during a chat with The New Adventures of Old Christine star Julia-Louis Dreyfus.

Dreyfus is the first CBS actor to appear on his show and no talent from ABC’s primetime lineup have been on since it debuted on Sept. 14.
“Thank you for coming,” Leno told Dreyfus. “I know there was some resistance to you coming here today.”
Dreyfus replied that she had no reservations about appearing on his show considering their long relationship, but that “Yes, there was a little pressure (from CBS) because you're now on primetime and I'm on a different network.”
Still, Dreyfus took the opportunity to get in a lighthearted plug for her show by revealing a "Watch CBS" sign on her butt and kicking up her heal to show off an Old Christine logo.

JAY (Never) had a CLUE what made show's HITS. He should've listened to Nikki F but he DIDN'T. U don't REPEAT 16-YR OLD crap in PRIME. NO NETWORK should let its STARS compete in PRIME against THEIR OWN SHOWS. They're NOT STUPID; but Jay is.

JAY OVER-reached going to PRIME 5X/week doing OLD, TIRED jokes & BITS. HE can't CARRY the load; hasn't found NEW talent; OR NEW WRITERS. STALE material & JAYwalking is plain STUPID. Johnny was ADORED; jay wasn't

JAY & HIS tired, OLD team haven't had a NEW thought or IDEA in a DECADE. HE/they can't CARRY a prime show 5X/week. HE's STILL DOING HACK STUFF FROM Tonight Show & HE'S not Carson!

i hate dramas anyway.. at least now there is something worth watching at the 10 slot. Normally I'd be clicking on the food channel or tlc or something.
