Is Jay Leno saying goodbye to 10 p.m.?

By Gerald Herbert, AP

It looks like Jay Leno's 10 p.m. show might soon be moving.

TMZ is reporting, from unnamed sources, that Leno will go on hiatus Feb 1, and that after the Olympics, the late-night funnyman will take back his 11:30 p.m. PM time slot. What that means to Conan O'Brien, no one knows.

This follows a Daily Beast report today that said NBC was "pedaling away" from its decision to run Leno every night at 10, to which NBC issued 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." (This is code for we were stupid, as many viewers told us. Leno should always have stayed as host of the Tonight Show and forcing him out was shamelss... and Conan is the wrong guy for that time slot! Oh and we are not only corrupt... we are stupid!)

Daily Beast's Kim Masters says NBC appears to be planning a change just days before it announces new mid-season programming Sunday at a gathering of television critics in Pasadena.

Welcome back to late night and your home… the Late Show Jay!!

Anyone could have told NBC (subsidiary GE… a back-pocket Obama Company) that Jay should have been allowed to stay in his light night spot for as long as he was willing… that was obvious to just about everyone, logical and good business. Conan is a late late night kinda guy!

And mind you… these (NBC/GE) are the same people who keep trying to sell us on Global Warming (in TV ads and a variety of other owned media) as most of America (and even Copenhagen) have been freezing since early Fall and who stand to make a fortune on stealing your private info for the government from electronically centralizing your medical records into a huge database for Big Brother… already provided for, not in the Healthcare Bill, but snuck into the stimulus or was it the TARP bill?

Makes you feel safe and secure doesn’t it?? Your info in the hands of people who can’t figure out that the number one rated late night talk show host who is on your network is worth keeping there… controlling your personal data for a government who can’t put a guy’s name on the ‘no fly list’ after his own father alerted the CIA several times… using your info to tax you to transform America into something most Americans don’t want and even fear…??

Give us a few laugh Jay... We need them!!
