Leno moving to FOX?

by Bob Sassone, posted Oct 3rd 2007 3:20PM

Clooney, LenoWe've been hearing a lot of stories about Jay Leno and what he will (or won't) do after Conan O'Brien takes over The Tonight Show in 2009. Could he move to another network?

On the heels of news that NBC might be building Conan O'Brien a new studio on the Universal lot (O'Brien will probably have to move from New York to L.A. when he takes over the show) comes word from gossiper Cindy Adams that Leno might be moving to FOX. Adams says that there's no way that Leno is going to retire (Leno is making more and more jokes about leaving NBC lately, and you can tell it's not all in jest), and the best odds are that FOX will want to get back into the late night game.

FOX makes the most sense. He certainly wouldn't go to CBS since Letterman has 11:30 (and produces the 12:30 show). Would ABC want to get rid of Kimmel in some way to make room for Leno?

How could anyone think that Leno would be popular with conservative republicans? It surprises me that he's popular with anyone. Conan's corny as heck. Give me Kimmel. He's great!

Hey does anybody remember the "Stand up for Jay" campaign. Perhaps he needs a new campaign. I always thought Jay Leno was very fortunate to be in the comedy business because he is NOT FUNNY AT ALL.

I don't know why anyone would want to watch Conan. He is not funny and his monolog is stupid as he tries to do funny comments and fall down and all that crap. If Leno changes we will be following him. If he retires I guess we will be getting more sleep.We have watched the tonight show since the days of Carson and all the days of Leno. I hope Leno will reconsider retirement and go with Fox. Fox is growing and widd do right by him.

Leno is already qualified to be a "Fox" person... perfect place for him to continue. He'll do well, but Conan is by far funnier, more inventive, and interesting to watch.

I would be happy to see Jay stay on tv; I have started get tired of Conan...mainly his monologue though.

Don't count Conan out .. people said Letterman wouldn't work at 11:30 either and he's doing just fine.

Leno = not funny so Fox seems about right.

on a side note, I thought Leno signed some type of deal with NBC not all that long ago??

Emma: If you tuned in to Letterman just to see Paris, I think that tells us all we need to know.

Only republicans and conservatives find Leno funny?! Huh? I am an out and out liberal and he has had me almost hyperventilating on quite a few occasions. Incidentally Letterman by contrast bores me stupid! I have no idea why anyone finds him funny. Aside from his recent dalliance with Paris Hilton I find his show painful to watch.
