The Jay Leno Show Pushed Back To Later Time Slot Due To Affiliate Issues
Posted on Thu Jan 7, 2010 02:45 PM PDT
We're hearing rumors that NBC will be moving The Jay Leno Show back to a later time slot, and the network has revealed that we will be seeing some changes to the television program.
NBC released the following statement:
- "Jay Leno is one of the most compelling entertainers in the world today. As we have said all along, Jay’s show has performed exactly as we anticipated on the network. It has, however, presented some issues for our affiliates. Both Jay and the show are committed to working closely with them to find ways to improve the performance.”
Much was made about Jay's move to 10pm this past fall, as it was a radical decision that affected other networks along with millions of viewers. Since there have been so many complaints from affiliates who are upset about Leno's numbers affecting their own, there are several theories as to what will happen with the show. While it's possible that the show could be cancelled, there is also talk that it may move back to its original 11:30pm time slot. Additionally, it could be altered so that it only airs once a week, but we won't know anything for sure until NBC speaks again.
So what does that mean for Conan O'Brien and his program? If Jay's show gets pushed back, Conan has to go somewhere! Or would Jay be the one getting the boot?
Would you be disappointed if The Jay Leno Show got yanked?

Jay Leno sucks. It doesn't matter what time slot he gets. I'd never watch him.
I just hope Conan doesn't get screwed over.
i prefer jay any day over conan! he is just funner than that carrot top!!!
Funner??? LOL! I think they both suck. I still think Letterman is a hoot, but I wish we could go back to the days of Carson.
Yay for Jay.
Never understood why stupid NBC pushed the king of late night out of the slot where he was killing in the ratings.
Boot Conan.
Letterman shoud just retire.
He is hateful and jealous of Jay.
He never go over Leno winning Late Night War.
Thank God Jay is back.
Conan sucks.
Teach NBC a lesson.
Move to FOX.
You will be $$$ respected at FOX.
Leno sucks, and he's a perv. Letterman has taste, despite his poor behavior. Conan is doing better now in LA, but he was off to a rough start. The other guy who took Conan's late night spot, is awkward, small time, and does not have star quality. Can't even remember his name.
And they will put Jay to once a week if they are smart, and I bet it's because the numbers aren't as good as they say. His "new" show is a bore, as he always has been.
Jay Leno is Cool, he's been in the movies, because he rates. Letterman is cool too, but I never watch Conan.
Conan sucks and Letterman is a douche and a perv so of course Leno has the ratings. At least Jay has class and doesn't go around diddling his interns.
