The Jay Leno Show: Born Sept. 14, 2009 - Died Feb 12, 2010

Well then why was it posted in response to a post about Carson? maybe I am missing something here. But at this point it hardly matters.

My comment was about Carson. This was posted

And as much of a fan I was of Johnny Carson I had also heard rumors about him sometimes being a mean-spirited human being.

And I responded:

It's the usual slander. Any one who is as beloved as Carson is bound to be maligned by a baseless, untraceable allegation in an attempt to knock them down a peg. The envious human attitude, "If you lose, I win."

And I do recognize that the OP is not the source of the rumor or allegation. But propagating the second, third, fourth hand accounts of a celebrity being a bad person is not something I let stand unchallenged.

I guess I did not see where an article was involved unless it was the one he was proviving. But apparently there is another article or we are all taking this too seriously or something like that.

Kimmel comments on his Leno appearance after Jay outed him on Oprah.

Too funny...seeing Leno and Letterman together with Oprah in a Superbowl commercial for Lateshow with David Letterman.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I wonder how NBC feels about that one.

I wonder how NBC feels about that one.

I was wondering the same thing.

 

[Peter Parker]

I think it actually promoted Jay just as much as Letterman. I would guess that NBC knew and probably leapt at the chance to promote leno on CBS.

Jay Leno-David Letterman-Oprah Winfrey Super Bowl ad was Dave's idea, says CBS | EW.com

Could be one of the few memorable commercials of the evening, really weak year for them. Can only watch so many godaddy/beer/doritos commercials.

Where was Conan? Shouldn't he be part of the mix too?

I read Letterman tried to get him. But due to the terms of his NBC buyout, he couldn't do it.

I had read they had offered and had no response from Conan's group.

I liked Kelso & Donald Trumps spot last night...

According to KAB in another thread Conan cannot appear on another network even asa guest till April.

But the big news today is that, by airing an otherwise forgettable rerun of "Law and Order: SVU" in this Wednesday's 10 p.m. slot, NBC drew nearly two million more viewers than "The Jay Leno Show" did on a typical weeknight.

A first-run episode of "The Jay Leno Show" had been pulling in a little over 4 million viewers a night before it was canced on February 9. This week, a repeat of "SVU" drew 5.98 million viewers.

It was actually the third time this SVU episode was aired....

[dfergie]

I saw this elsewhere, Kevin has been a pretty good bandleader, but like the one before him didn't quite fit in like "doc" did with Johnny or Paul does with Letterman...

The Tonight Show should hire Andy Richter...how funny would that be?
