Jay Leno Show to be Cancelled? Jay to Move Back to Tonight Show?

Wow, now these are just rumors but too bad for Conan O'Brien.

An industry Web site called FTV declared that Leno's show would be cancelled as soon as the Winter Olympics begin next month, when much of the regular programming on NBC will be pre-empted for Olympics coverage.

Then the TMZ Web site, citing undisclosed sources, said Leno's show would go on hiatus Feb.1. Following the Olympics (which take place in Vancouver from Feb. 12-28), Leno will take back the 11:30 p.m. EST time slot he occupied for 17 years that ended last May.

This would make Leno's successor at "The Tonight Show," Conan O'Brien, "the odd man out," TMZ said.

Hmm, maybe Conan could jump ship to ABC or Fox and make his show a little edgier like his show was before. I mean the Tonight Show might frown on Triumph the Insult Comic Dog but Fox would love it. I know Conan on the Tonight Show has been pretty lame for the most part so a move might do him good.
