…but this is really eating up the entertainment news cycle right now. So much drama.
So I don’t know if this is something I can believe, but supposedly Jay Leno is pissed about how this whole thing went down. According to Popeater he may be leaving now, too. It goes something like this:
“Sources close to former ‘Tonight Show’ host Jay Leno tell me he is furious with the way NBC has treated him and Conan O’Brien and is considering walking away from the entire mess with his head held high. “Now that Conan has made it clear he is leaving the troubled network, Jay is considering doing the same. 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,” a TV insider tells me.
“Plus, 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?”
If you are Jimmy Fallon, you are feeling pretty good right about now, huh? Winner by default! USA! USA!
Actually I found a video of him when this story broke. I think he feels this might be good for him.
