Leno's Side of the Story

http://entertainment.blogs.foxnews.com/2010/01/19/jay-leno-gives-his-version-of-the-nbc-disaster-calls-conan-obrien-good-guy/?test=faces

 

Leno Speaks!  It's about time!

I appreciate his side of the story, but the situation doesn't change.  The honorable thing is to not hide behind "what the networks said/did," but rather  talk about what he did/is doing - which should be quitting before taking Conan's spot. 

Re: Leno's Side of the Story

  • I can respect him for speaking out and I am more sympathetic to hear he was forced into retirement, but I still don't totally agree with his side of the story.

    The part of his story when he said the execs told him to come back to 1130, and he claims he asked "would that be OK with Conan" and they said "oh yeah of course" sounds fishy. Do you really just take that at face value? It doesn't sound like he was tough to convince.

  • He is playing the victim, isn't he? "boo hoo...the networks lied to me..." 
  • He is. It's definitely too little too late IMO.

    He couldn't have truly thought that Conan would be OK with him taking the 11:30 slot, I just think he didn't anticiapte the amount of backash and the out-pouring of Conan love so now he's all like "hey! the network screwed me toooo!!"

  • He sucks. End of story.

    Surprise! The Sequel is due 12.8.14!

  • Without having read this article... DH found the clip from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno from 2004 when he announced that his "retirement" from late night would be coming in 2009.  He said Conan would take over and he was fine with everything.  He even said something like "I'll almost be 60 in 2009, it'll be time to retire!"

    Either he was lying then or he's lying now.  Either way he sucks and I'll never watch a show of his again.  I'm with CoCo and I hope he gets a HUGE severence package!
