NEW YORK — Jay Leno’s plugging away in prime time, but he still says he would have rather stayed put at "The Tonight Show" — and if NBC offered him that late-night job again, he says he’d take it.

In an interview with Broadcasting & Cable magazine, Leno hastily adds that such a decision isn’t his to make. Conan O’Brien, his successor as "Tonight" host after 17 years, is "doing fine," says Leno.

It's all coming apart at the seams, and for once Channel 7 was right about something. Where's the apology from the NBC Studios in Burbank? And where's the poll that we can take and send to NBC to get this unfunny hack off the air once and for all?

With all due respect to a fine entertainer, Jay has got to get out of that tired old Bush-bashing, Republican-bashing mode and into something a bit more current and relevant. We have a new Dem administration now and a majority-Dem congress... and he can't think of anything there to satirize? Gimme a break! Click!!!

it is sad to see a guy beg. of course he would go back--he's tanking and the network has no place to put him. he doesn't have the juice that Letterman has or he would not have been moved in the 1st place.

He is better than that scum-bag, deviant Letterman.

Oh yea, Im sure Conan's contract which he signed about five years before taking the job, just allows NBC to just ask Leno to come back. Right.

Leno is criticized because he doesnt take a political stand on anything. So im not sure what you are talking about. But seeing this is the Herald you got two thumbs up votes for that comment. Nice job.
