Jay Leno Show: Prime-time Bust!

Recently, the Jay Leno Show’s time-slot has been moved to Prime-time hours in one of the biggest NBC gambles in history. Prime-time is the block of programming on television during the middle of the evening, usually from 8 P.M. to 11 P.M. Unfortunately, Leno’s show, has been hurting NBC Affiliate News Ratings, and NBC will no longer stand for it. Initially, the show was just supposed to be pushed back to its original spot at 11:35, but now NBC thinks that it would be a good idea to cancel the show altogether.
But, don’t think that the public is just getting tired of Jay Leno, Conan Obrien is facing scrutiny as well. Frankly, there are far too many of these shows on air, and the people are changing the channel! With the addition of George Lopez’s new show at 11 P.M. on TBS, there are now 6 late night talk shows: Jon Stewart’s “Daily Show” and Stephan Culbert’s “The Colbert Report” come on at 11 P.M. on Comedy Central, Conan Obrien at 11:35 on NBC, David Letterman at 11:35 on CBS, and Jay Leno at 10 on NBC.
Now, NBC is working to get these talk shows off air and put on something that viewers won’t turn from. Possible replacements include, Law and Order, the Jerry Seinfeld Reality Show, or a new sitcom called Parenthood. Whatever the outcome, Leno will be missed regardless of his recent drop in support. The show is projected to be cancelled in February, so tune in to watch history come to an end!
