Jay Leno still works for NBC.
I just wanted to post the jokes - but after posting, I checked his bio on Wiki - you are correct, he has been back and forth with different shows on NBC.
No, we don’t know the accuracy of a passed-around email.
But Leno was retired from his prime position while still young by such standards and at his peak, which was bizarre for a network to do. Beyond understandable that he ended up leaving the gig altogether.
And he was at least more politically balanced, with some shots at Obama, than any of the leftist toadies put on in the evening by the networks since.
Being on the payroll is NOT the same as hosting the Tonight show on a routine (or even stand-in) basis. Probably just part of the bribe package to get him to "go quietly".
The only listing I see in the line-up is "Jay Leno Garage."
Not exactly hard-hitting stuff. Am I missing something?
Exactly. Jay came to the end of his contract and wanted to leave. Then, of course, it true Jay fashion, he didn’t want to leave. By then it was too late. He was also involved in a huge dustup with David Letterman over who would host the Tonight Show. It might not be PC to say it but he was the bad guy in that situation, not Letterman.
What time is he on?
But he’s a regular on Tim Allen’s “Last Man Standing”, which tends to make me think he’s been welcomed into the equal opportunity potshot club. Full disclosure: I LOVE LMS.
Yeah, the jokes were good; the premise is a lie.
