Ellen talks Proposition 8 and gay marriage on Jay Leno
As though we needed any more reason to love this woman, last night Ellen DeGeneres took the opportunity while guesting on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to urge the audience to vote against Proposition 8, which would take away the right of gay Californians (like her and new wife Portia) to marry. And Jay chimed in, noting that there's been gay marriage in his home state for a while and nothing terrible has happened, and asks if we don't have more important things to focus on right now as a country aside fro
Will the Last Person to Watch a Broadcast Network Please Turn Off the Set?
Why, you wonder, is NBC turning over a third of its weeknight programming to Jay Leno? There are specific reasons having to do with the in-the-toiletness of NBC at present, but there are also, as they say, systemic causes. Namely, no one is watching broadcast-network TV.
Well, not no one. But a new study has found viewership sharply down for the big networks this season, even as it has risen for cable. (The study, I must note, come from Turner Networks, which is part of Time Warner like Time
Leno 1, NBC 0
Jay Leno put a gun to his head and told NBC, “Give me a show or I’ll fire.” The network blinked first, says MarketWatch’s Jon Friedman.

Oh, cute. Wanda Sykes is just recently out of the closet (to the public anyway) and like all newbie gays, she's got herself plastered in Pride paraphernalia.

There's never a wrong way to choose to come out, but we think that Sykes decision to speak up at the National Day

Nobody can say what the impact of this first of its kind programming strategy will be in the long run, but it will certainly mark the biggest change to the primetime broadcast landscape since 1971, when CBS, NBC and ABC were made by the FCC to surrender a collective nine hours o

Is Jay Leno the saviour of NBC?
It seems like almost everyone loves Jay Leno, right? NBC certainly seem to think so and are piling on the pressure hoping that Jay will be the answer to their ratings woe.
They are touting the new tentatively titled ‘The Jay Leno Show’ as their big show in the 10pm weeknights slot. Leno has spoken about how he’s planning to keep the best parts of his ‘Tonight Show’ such as the monologue, Jaywalking and guests. With a bigger budget however, Leno is likely to go all
Ellen To Anti-Gay Activists: "You Don't Need To Promote Hate."

Taking aim at those people raising millions to fight same-sex love, Ellen remarks:
I look at the people who are losing their homes and they're foreclosing – and people in Texas who have lost homes… There are so many people that need money right now – and if you’re raising

I am super stoked about Igor. I haven’t seen it yet, but I think as cute as the characters look it’s got to be worth checking out. The mama in me is always searching for great kid flicks, but I have to be honest in admitting that I love ‘em, too.

`Nightline' producer doesn't feel saved
It's possible that Jay Leno's decision to stay at NBC might have saved ABC's "Nightline" from being axed, but the show's producer doesn't think so.
If Leno hadn't decided to stay at NBC for a nightly prime-time show, it was a good bet that he'd head to another network. ABC, and the late-night time slot held by "Nightline," would have been a strong possibility, given its attempt to lure David Letterman six years ago.
James Goldston, executive producer of "Nightline," says it wasn't a certaint
