Jay Leno Reviews, Interviews & More
Finally putting an end to the speculation, NBC has officially announced that Jimmy Fallon will host The Tonight Show in 2014, replacing current host Jay Leno, who has hosted the program for 22 excruciatingly unfunny years.
Jimmy Kimmel's ascent was slow but sure, as he went from a ringleader of C-list guests to someone who could get Matt Damon, Ben Affleck and Harrison Ford to sing about his sex life. And if he's always felt like the little guy in the face of Jay Leno and David Letterman, it was partly because his show began thirty minutes after theirs. Starting in January, he'll be going head to head with...
NBC claimed that the main reason they wanted to bring Jay Leno back into their late night fold was because of the low ratings new host Conan O' Brien was earning for the network. For the first time during the many years that the show had been on the air it was losing money, but that was only a sign of things to come. According to Reuters, upon his return to "The Tonight Show,"...
While out on the road doing his comedy 'thing' Conan O' Brien decided to stop by Google headquarters in Silicon Valley. He along with his sidekick Andy Richter were on hand to make a room full of employees laugh and feel uncomfortable all at the same time. He made obvious digs at his late night nemesis Jay Leno highlighting his lisp and his famous "it wasn't my fault" defense....
When it comes to the NBC late night shakeup that occurred a few months ago, Conan O'Brien says he would have done things a lot differently than his counterpart, Jay Leno. In his first post-"Tonight Show" interview, which is scheduled to air on "60 Minutes" this Sunday, Coco told journalist Steve Kroft (more or less) that Leno played him...
Oh, thank the gods—Conan O’Brien is returning to a television near you this fall. According to CNN (who is like TBS but owned by Time Warner), O’Brien will be starting a new late-night talk show to debut in November. Immediately following O’Brien’s new late-night show will be George Lopez with Lopez Tonight at midnight.
While one would...
America has spoken. Even though a huge cloud of negative energy surrounded Jay Leno's return to "The Tonight Show," he's managed to prevail. Remember when everyone said they were through with him after the underhanded way he and NBC handled Conan O'Brien? I guess those folks changed their tune, because Leno is back at number one leaving David Letterman,...
This evening, "The Tonight Show" will return with new episodes along with a (old) new host, Jay Leno. He regained the reigns to the program after a very public and tumultuous three-way war with NBC and his successor Conan O'Brien. Some people claim that his tactics were underhanded, while others say it's just business. The question of who's right and who's wrong will come to a...
Jay Leno will be returning to NBC's "The Tonight Show" on March 1st and the guest list for his first two weeks has been revealed. Surprisingly it doesn't look that bad, and even though the general public has branded him as public enemy number one he's managed to get several notable actors to appear on the show. It looks like Leno may still have a few aces up his sleeve.
During this year's Winter Olympics NBC has received the highest ratings they've had in a very long time. They have the majority of the country's attention, which means it would be a great time to insert promotion for Jay Leno. They aired the commercial for the host's return to "The Tonight Show" last night and it was kind of tasteless.
Last night while watching the Super Bowl, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. It looked like there was a commercial for "The Late Show with David Letterman" that featured the host, alongside Oprah Winfrey and dare I say, Jay Leno? It wasn't a dream, and it wasn't necessarily a nightmare, it was just weird. Over at EW, they sat down and interviewed Letterman's producer...
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...
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...
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...
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...
"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...
