Jay Leno appeared on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” Thursday afternoon to discuss the much talked about NBC late-night debacle. Over the past month he and Conan O’Brien have been at the center of a major media frenzy that’s caused much of the country to take sides. When he spoke to Winfrey in a sit down interview, his attempt to gain sympathy from viewers may have fallen on deaf ears…
Last night Jimmy Kimmel had the uncomfortable task of being a guest on “The Jay Leno Show.” The host appeared via satellite but still made Leno feel like crap from a distance. He gave Leno a good scolding regarding the whole NBC, late-night shake up and it was obvious after watching his segment that Kimmel is on Team Coco…
Literally seconds, we mean SECONDS after it was announced by TMZ that Jay Leno would return to “The Tonight Show“ on NBC, the network issued a statement denying all claims. The suits over at the peacock channel don’t want any drama, so they’re trying to keep everything under wraps. They refuse to give a real yes or no on the deal, just a general no comment.
Conan is out, Jay is in. NBC has reportedly given Leno the Tonight Show from 11:35 – 12:35. So, how big are Jay Leno‘s balls for going through with this and putting the red-head out of a job? Or is that really the case.
It is still unclear exactly what has happened in this whole scuffle but one this is for sure, there are a lot of questions to be asked. And whose fault is it really? Is Leno just taking a spot that is rightfully his? Or has he had his time to shine? Is this a battle between to entertainers or are both of these men simply two victims of a network? And most importantly, will you watch Leno on the Tonight Show?
Let us know below!
Excuse my language, but Jay Leno and NBC have balls! The network has finally made a decision regarding their late night lineup and guess what, LENO WINS! Jay Leno has just signed on to takeover “The Tonight Show” from Conan O’ Brien when they return from the Winter Olympics next month.
The country hasn’t been this divided since the infamous Team Edward versus Team Jacob phenomenon, because no one can escape the war that’s brewing in late night TV. For the most part, viewers are unanimously behind current “Tonight Show” host Conan O’Brien who recently gave NBC an ultimatum regarding his gig on the show. If they push it back a half an hour to accommodate another series for Jay Leno, he’s out. After all the hoopla that’s being generated, some reports are stating that Leno might finally take the hint and leave the network for good.
Last night on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” the host continued to capitalize on the ongoing late night war between Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, and NBC. Kimmel appeared on the show not as himself, but as a Leno sporting a gray wig, prosthetic chin, and an annoying lisp. The comedic bit is just one of many the host and others will continue to put on while NBC is in the sh*thole. So, without further ado, here’s Jay…
“The Jay Leno Show” has been given its walking papers (sort of) out of its ten o’clock primetime spot by the peacock network. Last week there was plenty of bad blood brewing between Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien and NBC, and over the weekend a major move was made. According to THR, NBC has pulled the plug on Leno’s show.
All day there’s been a turf war going on at NBC regarding talk show personalities Jay Leno and Conan O’ Brien. There’s been speculation regarding whether or not the network will keep “The Jay Leno Show” at its 10 pm time slot or push it back to 11:30. The big problem here is what will happen to “The Tonight Show” and where does that leave Conan?
