PopEater: Jay Leno May Bolt NBC
Posted on Jan 13, 2010 @ 09:08AM
Jay Leno might leave NBC in the wake of a late night controversy that has shaken the Peacock Network to its very foundation.
Leno, an insider told Popeater.com, is upset at the network's fumbling of their late night schedule, and they way they have treated him and The Tonight Show host Conan O' Brien.

"Now that Conan has made it clear he is leaving the troubled network, Jay is considering doing the same," a source told the Web site. "They have put Jay in a terrible position. It looks like he is the reason that Conan is now without a job. Jay is a great guy and it's not fair that due to NBC's stupidity he looks like the bad guy.

The prospect of returning to The Tonight Show may have lost its luster with Leno, according to the report.

Said the source: "What happens when Jay does return to the 11:35 slot if his audience doesn't immediately follow? How can he possibly trust the same network that canceled Conan after only seven months?"

NBC has been losing viewers for a while.....I think Conan is brilliant for leaving and Jay should do the same!

Leno caused this mess to begin with. He should have walked away and perhaps done a Jay Leno special several times a year like Barbara Walters. He said he'd retired now he's mad?

NBC has really made a mess. TMZ is saying Conan wants out of NBC now, and now Leno might too? Besides the Olympics coming up NBC really does not have much on their network worth tuning in for. Big Bang Theory and Law and Orders.

There are many misconceptions about this...Leno did not retire, NBC moved him to prime time. It was not what he wanted. Conan was then moved into his spot and not doing as well as Jay. Now they want to undo what they did.

NBC's so cheap, if Leno does come back, they'll have to tell guests to BYOD...bring your own desk.

I hope that Conan gets picked up by Fox, and he gets to tell NBC where to go.

He is just doing what is right. OBrien was treated like dirt and Leno isnt just sitting back and letting this happen. NBC totally mishandled it. Leno should leave, its not like he wont get other work and both have millions to live off of

Leaving NBC? Is that a joke? Or to save face now? He RETIRED from The Tonight Show and gave it to Conan. He should have told NBC last week NO WAY and walked away, but he is going ahead with the plan. Leno is a joke now! Team Conan!

He thinks with his theat of leaving he is going to get more money to stay is all he is doing now, he could care less about Conan- Let the guy go and get someone with more appealing looks instead of this FAT- FAMILY GUY DOUBEL
