Jay Leno Gets NBC Exec Boot

[SpiderGearsMan]

Jay Leno, host of NBC's Tonight Show, announced Wednesday that he will wrap up more than two decades on the iconic late-night show in spring 2014. And NBC said Jimmy Fallon, host of NBC's Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, will slide into that role after Leno's exit.

The change will coincide with NBC's coverage of the 2014 Winter Olympics.

I'd like to have a 10th of a 10th of 3% of his severance $$

Really makes no sense... Getting rid of a $$$ maker for a dolt..
I like Jay's humor.. Letterman, not so much, never cared for Conan nor Fallon..
No skin off my teeth, as I do not get the channel..

I'd like to have a tenth of 3% of his car collection. And he actually drives them, but not far.

Dunno Spidey, if that was the case, why would they wait a year for him to finish? He's been on a long time. I duunno how long Carson was on there before he got done with it.

easy see saw to weeble wobble... no talk show host just does that and goes twenty years.
but just seeing twenty something years, no doubt a realistic retirement in the background, the front is anything anybody believes.

twice as far as a president in public service.. daily. wow.

True. His shop's 1/4 mile from me. I see him a couple times a week driving his cars

[SpiderGearsMan]

I like when he drives the firetruck and the stanley steamer

Network was bought by someone else.. They told him to quit making barbs at the parent company..(no sense of humor) he INCREASED the barbs.. Thus the boot..

Didn't Letterman try that one time (making barbs at the parent company)?

The old parent company didn't care.. Thought it was funny..
New parent company has puckered spinchters. Nothing is funny.. Too corporate.
