Jay Leno might quit NBC too. NBC created the whole mess on late night by canceling Jay’s show and promising to bump him back to his old spot…except they had to boot Conan to do it too. Now both Jay AND Conan are upset with how NBC has handled the whole fiasco.

Jay was wildly popular at the 11:30 pm slot before they bumped him to 10 pm. Now NBC execs changed their minds. Again. According to Popeater:

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.

It would make you feel like a jerk if you got your ‘old’ show back and the new guy got kicked to the curb by breach of contract. Click over to Popeater and vote if you think Jay should stay or go.
