Here's something. The Jay Leno Show doesn't even air on the East Coast for another 20 minutes or so, but the site already has posted video of Leno mocking NBC and rumors of his imminent demise and/or cancellation (or whatever is going to happen to him and his show after the Winter Olympics). Sometimes you have to love a comedian for going on TV and giving it to his/her bosses; other times, you think what kind of nerve this guy has. Considering how many millions of dollars he already has earned and stands to take from NBC, regardless of whatever GE or Comcast or network suits decide, I'm not inclined to root for the little guy. Because he's not the little guy. He's the big guy pushing everyone around. Roll the clip!
It'll be interesting to see if Conan (or Letterman!) says anything about this tonight.
Any word on this post by TMZ? http://www.tmz.com/2010/01/07/jay-leno-nbc-conan-obrien-tonight-show/
These are dark times indeed.
