It looks like Jay Leno's 10 p.m. show might soon be moving.
TMZ is reporting, from unnamed sources, that Leno will go on hiatus Feb 1, and that after the Olympics, the late-night funnyman will take back his 11:30 p.m. PM time slot. What that means to Conan O'Brien, no one knows.
This follows a Daily Beast report today that said NBC was "pedaling away" from its decision to run Leno every night at 10, to which NBC issued the following statement:
"Jay Leno is one of the most compelling entertainers in the world today. As we have said all along, Jay's show has performed exactly as we anticipated on the network. It has, however, presented some issues for our affiliates. Both Jay and the show are committed to working closely with them to find ways to improve the performance."
Daily Beast's Kim Masters says NBC appears to be planning a change just days before it announces new mid-season programming Sunday at a gathering of television critics in Pasadena.
Welcome back to late night and your home… the Late Show Jay!!
Anyone could have told NBC (subsidiary GE… a back-pocket Obama Company) that Jay should have been allowed to stay in his light night spot for as long as he was willing… that was obvious to just about everyone, logical and good business. Conan is a late late night kinda guy!
And mind you… these (NBC/GE) are the same people who keep trying to sell us on Global Warming (in TV ads and a variety of other owned media) as most of America (and even Copenhagen) have been freezing since early Fall and who stand to make a fortune on stealing your private info for the government from electronically centralizing your medical records into a huge database for Big Brother… already provided for, not in the Healthcare Bill, but snuck into the stimulus or was it the TARP bill? Makes you feel safe and secure doesn’t it??
