Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien NBC Shake-Up

Apparently, Jay Leno’s new show is falling hard. So hard that local networks are complaining that, due to poor viewership of ‘The Jay Leno Show,’ their nightly newscasts are losing viewers by the truckloads.

Yesterday, TMZ reported that NBC decided to move Leno back to his original 11:30 PM time-slot.

“We’ve learned Jay’s 10:00 PM show will go on hiatus February 1. After the Olympics, Jay will take back his 11:30 PM time slot. What has not been decided — whether Jay’s show will be a half hour, followed by Conan, or whether Jay’s show will be an hour and NBC says sayonara to Mr. O’Brien.”

However, other sources are revealing that’s not so much the case.

Via Deadline Hollywood:

“On tonight’s monologue, Jay Leno sounds upset, even going so far to say he has “trust” issues with NBC right now. Which indicates that Leno and his reps are fighting NBC’s attempts to cancel The Jay Leno Show at 10 PM primetime Monday through Friday. That would violate his 5-year contract in which the network gave his show a 2-year iron-clad commitment. But NBC doesn’t want to absorb the penalty — ‘it’s just too big’ — so their solution is to find a place for Jay in late night. But, wait — wouldn’t Leno like NBC’s idea to return him to the 11:35 PM time slot he called home from 1992-2009? Not so much if it’s an abbreviated half-hour that’s just a lead-in to Conan. That’s right, TMZ is wrong: I’m telling you that Leno is not being offered The Tonight Show.”

Perhaps we should settle this the old-fashioned way with a Hamilton vs. Burr style duel? My money is on the redhead.

Kayne West on Jay Leno – Video

This shiz is still going on. If you have no idea why Kanye has to apologize, you can click here or here (it will open in a new window) to get a video recap on his Taylor Swift MTV VMA debacle. Or to sum it up…he metaphorically slapped a kitten.

Kanye West took his sad self to perform with Rihanna and Jay-Z on Jay Leno. He appeared to play the pity card and the subject of his mother who passed away during a beauty related operation. He had to compose himself after Jay asked what his mother would have thought of his behavior.

While he seemed serious I would like to remind everyone that his publicists pre-approve all questions to be asked during ALL interviews. So he knew the subject of his mother would be coming up. Take that fact and come to your own conclusion.
