NBC is giving Leno another show after he leaves the Tonight Show

[thursday727]

That will air at 10PM every weeknight before the Tonight Show.
what the hell is the point of him leaving the Tonight Show then?
so it will be Leno , Conan , Fallon ,Daily every weeknight on NBC

Idiotic.

[thursday727]

So NBC won't be showing Dramas at 10 like they always do.

[PaulsRightNut]

lame

[Adeniz19]

they better not get rid of SVU because of this.

So NBC won't be showing Dramas at 11 like they always do.this won't help them.

Guaranteed a Late Night Talk Show in prime time won't stand a chance up against a scripted drama like Lost.

They're sacrificing more rating to save money on production.

Damn. Now I have another television to ignore, as opposed to the three hours I don't watch on NBC. This is amazingly stupid.

[coryatlarge]

well thats stupid. but i bet its to keep him with NBC because if they booted him off he'd go to some other station and take away viewers from Conan

[pseudonym28]

i wonder when the local nbc news will air?

[bduke13]

The same time it always does?

Hahaha.

[J.C.]

Go away, Jay.

[dissident]

i wish leno ill. i mean that.

[Gedarov]

leno's got a strong enough older audience that he wont fail in this slot. also, thanks to his car website/show, he's gotten a much larger following with younger demographics in recent years as well.

it might actually be smart for NBC, who's banking on leno's built-in fan base for raitings and his talk format as a money saver.

[dissident]

and potentially screwing over conan in the process by still making him leno's tail and now also having to compete with letterman. seriously leno, go the fuck away.

[last light]

This is going to be a huge success for NBC. You all might hate Leno, but he's going to pull huge ratings with this.

[Adeniz19]

This is going to be a huge success for NBC. You all might hate Leno, but he's going to pull huge ratings with this.Agreed. It's a smart move on their part and it helps them save money and fill time. I just hope it doesn't affect some of their better shows during that time slot

I don't have a problem with Leno, I just have a problem with losing that time slot to a talk show.

[dissident]

DWB-kd09GXY

exactly. fuck leno.

[Adeniz19]

I don't have a problem with Leno, I just have a problem with losing that time slot to a talk show.I think they are aiming to do something similar to what FOX does, but not completely lose that time slot to the affiliates. FOX only has 2 hours of primetime to fill rather than 3, like the other stations, so they are at a bigger advantage production cost wise. NBC has the worst ratings out of all 4 major networks so this sort of makes sense. Get rid of all the junk shows and keep the good ones.

I really don't watch any primetime TV at all - just DVDs, so the only way this can affect me is by NBC eliminating the chances of good future shows at that time slot.

SVU is fucking gross,
I'm glad I won't have to watch it while I wait
for the news, and Conan.

Good for Jay I say. (Rhyme)

I'm glad Conan isn't gonna be on as late too.
I have to get up early
:-d

[fake empire]
