    Sources close to former ‘Tonight Show’ host Jay Leno tell me he is furious with the way NBC has treated him and Conan O’Brien and is considering walking away from the entire mess with his head held high. “Now that Conan has made it clear he is leaving the troubled network, Jay is considering doing the same. They have put Jay in a terrible position. It looks like he is the reason that Conan is now without a job. Jay is a great guy and it’s not fair that due to NBC’s stupidity he looks like the bad guy,” a TV insider tells me.

    “Plus, what happens when Jay does return to the 11:35 slot if his audience doesn’t immediately follow? How can he possibly trust the same network that canceled Conan after only seven months?

    Isn't it kind of jumping to conclusions to say that Conan is leaving the network for sure? I mean, obviously he is pissed and it is a strong possibility, but all his letter said was that he would not accept being bumped back 30 minutes. To me, he basically put the ball back in NBC's court to decide what to do- what if they change their mind and let him keep the tonight show (at 11:35)?

    I know that doesn't seem very likely but I'm under the impression that nothing is final right now.

    Maybe Leno thought they were doing a trade and Conan would have the honor of doing the show at 10.

    Right................

    Why doesn't NBC just let Leno go?

    Maybe this is all a ploy to drive both away so they can get Jerry Seinfeld.

    I never expect Leno to play the victim card. There's ZERO chance he leaves NBC if he gets his old job back. What an ass.

    Why are you rolling your eyes? We can say whatever we want about who is funnier, but it doesn't change the fact that Jay draws better. He's an American icon whether anyone here likes it or not. If NBC has to choose between the two, they are going to pick Leno. He's better business for NBC.

    Yes! And Fallon jumps to 10:30. That'll work.
