I never watched The Tonight Show. I was a Conan and Letterman fan, but only watched them occasionally on Tivo. Now I watch and enjoy Leno. I think it will be a surprise success. BTW: I love Community! I hope it survives!

Why does nearly everybody here hate jay leno?
youre obviously in the minority, if hes been called america’s #1comedian.
its a good honest variety show that you don’t have to keep following,
unlike a lot of these hyped pretentious crap comedy shows.
its worth spending time watching, which is hard to find in most other shows. If you think Leno or Conan have bad style then get over yourself.

Personally, I think this is a savvy move on NBC’s part (cost cutting wise) and brings a familiar face to a time period the peacock’s been having a hard time filling.
Also, it seems like NBC will have shorter seasons, or at the very least fewer reruns because of all the 8-10 shows they have on their schedule waiting to come back. Could make the network very HBO like. Also, like Ben said, fewer shows to promote.
My take is if Jay says on the network two years, it could build up the other shows up enough to actually make way for ten o’clock again.

I get Time magazine for free (my mom has a subscription and they give you a “gift one”). So, I came home from vacation this afternoon to this in my mailbox and threw it away before I walked in the door. I don’t think I would really care about Jay coming on if I weren’t afraid that others will copy it if it succeeds. Also, Chuck isn’t slated to come back until March…what else do I need to say?

I know it sucks they’re getting rid of all this programming for Jay but you know what I like about it? Not that jay will have his show back but that NBC will have fewer shows. Look at all the cable networks and even to an extent Fox. When you have fewer shows you not only advertise the ones you have more, but you strive to make them better because you have less filler time. Thats what I like about it.

I know I won’t be watching him!!! I will be tuning into the other Networks though. I don’t HATE HIM like I do David Letterman these days, but I just have no Interest. I don’t think he’s all that funny. I really don’t give a hoot what most all these so called Stars want to talk about on these shows. Most of the Bands on SUCK. Once in a while there’s a Comedian on that I like and so I’ll record the program and then watch it the next day skipping most of the show. There’s other programs I’d just rather see at 10PM. I think this Move will BOMB in the end and He’ll be asking for his old job back or Retire. Not like he doesn’t have Millions already.

ONOES! OMG TELEVISION IS DOOOOOOMED! THIS WILL RUIN EVERYTHING!

Or. You know. Not.

I think NBC has made some pretty crappy moves, don’t get me wrong. But nevertheless, I enjoy Leno. *shrug* I won’t watch his show much because it doesn’t interest me personally, but I can’t help by like the name himself. He’s an amiable guy who works ridiculously hard. Can’t say the same for a lot of Hollywood.
