Unexpected turns are always fun.
As many people were expecting Jay Leno to leave NBC once his contract at the Tonight Show was up and he was unceremoniously dumped to make room for Conan O’Brien, the long-running program’s new host.
Insiders predicted that the other networks would offer Leno, who still rakes in the ratings after all these years, way too much money and he’d easily be wooed over to a competing net.
Well, everyone was WRONG!
According to the very reputable New York Times, NBC is going to announce that Leno is staying at the peacock network and they are giving him a nightly show at 10 P.M.
He’s basically going to do the same show he’s been doing – only earlier.
Yay! He just got a promotion!!!!!!!!
And he probably is getting paid quite handsomely for it.
No broadcast network has ever before offered this type of nightly show during prime time.
They probably didn’t let him go because Jay is bound to bring in viewers AND advertising. AND he will help all the NBC affiliates boost their nightly news ratings.
Genius move!
