Jay Leno recently went on a tirade about NBC saying that "the trust between them was broken" and "Fox is looking really good these days."
This all came before NBC cancelled Leno's Primetime Disaster and contemplated moving him to 11:30pm--thereby giving him a half hour slot before Conan comes on with The Tonight Show at midnight.
Let's set aside the fact that NBC is willing to dissect The Tonight Show like that simply to keep Jay Leno happy.
Instead, let's once again marvel at what an idiot Jay Leno is.
How in the world can he blame NBC for what a nightmare his show has turned out to be?
NBC did everything but show up at people's houses at 10pm to turn their sets to Leno.
They put all their faith behind him and he couldn't deliver, because, quite simply, he was resting on the laurels of The Tonight Show all these years--and the fact that people like routine.
They watched him because they'd been watching him. That's all.
If it's true that people loved him regardless of whether or not he was on The Tonight Show, then he wouldn't have failed so dramatically at 10pm.
If anything, he should have exploded. More people are watching television at 10pm then at 11:30pm. Leno had all the resources in the world and he crashed.
The problem is that talk shows are about personality. You'd have to be a hell of a personality to have people watch you five times a week. Leno does NOT have that personality. When I've written previous blogs about him, people have rushed to defend his old-fashioned, good old boy sense of humor.
Apparently those people may like Jay, but not feel the urge to watch him on television.
Well guess what? That's a problem--when you're on television.
For him to insinuate that he would do any better on Fox is pathetic. What are they going to do? Give him an 11:30pm time slot? Go for it. He's already destroyed NBC, I'm sure Fox wants to lose a few million viewers as well.
Also, who attacks their boss like that and gets to keep their job? NBC needs to grow a set.
What really bugs me is that they've neglected Conan to make Jay happy rather than do simple surveys to find out that people have no interest in Jay Leno as an individual commodity. Conan deserves better, and so does The Tonight Show.
Jay, stop blaming NBC. Your show is lackluster even with A-List celebrities and all your stupid Tonight Show gags. I can't wait for the day when you're finally off television.
