Trivia

Jerry Seinfeld stood up for his friend Jay Leno during the whole Tonight Show changeover scandal: "What did the network do to him?" Seinfeld asked; referring to critics' complaints that NBC shortchanged Conan during the schedule change imbroglio: "I don't think anyone's preventing people from watching Conan. Once they give you the cameras, it's on you. I can't blame NBC for having to move things around. I hope Conan stays, I think he's terrific. But there's no rules in show business, there's no refs."

User Reviews

Keep Up The Good Work Jay Leno!

The Tonight Show With Jay Leno is great. I have a couple of favourite US Late Night shows and Jay Leno is definitely one of my favourites and as I watch his show more and more, I begin to like to him more. His jokes are great and he's just one funny talk show host. I don't like that Kevin Eubanks though.
