CBS boss Les Moonves challenges Jay Leno to ratings duel with 'CSI'
NEW YORK - CBS Corp. Chief Executive Leslie Moonves challenged Jay Leno to a ratings duel when the late-night talk show host moves his NBC show to a prime-time slot of 10 p.m. next fall. "I will bet anybody who would like to bet that 'CSI: Miami' on Monday night at 10 o'clock will beat Jay by a lot. Remember that. By a lot," Moonves said Wednesday at an investor conference hosted by UBS. Moonves said CBS was winning the ratings war in four of the five weeknights in the 10 p.m. time slot, wit

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

Ed Martin: NBC and Jay Leno Put Broadcast Television in Play
 If nothing else, NBC’s announcement this week that it will in September 2009 turn over one third of its Monday-Friday primetime schedule to Tonight Show host Jay Leno has put broadcast television as we know it into play. 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

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

Jay Leno Made Wanda Sykes Gay
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. Truth is we never associated "Wanda Sykes" with "heartwarming", but in this clip of her appearance last night on The Tonight Show, we want to sign her up for the Teddy Bear a Day Club or something. There's never a wrong way to choose to come out, but we think that Sykes decision to speak up at the National Day

NBC: The incredible shrinking network
Brian Lowry: Will the Leno shift benefit the broadcaster? -- With its plans to bring Jay Leno to primetime five nights a week, NBC has taken a major step toward no longer qualifying as a major broadcaster -- becoming the Big Three web that ISN'T, as in Incredible Shrinking Network TV.

`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

Watch Diddy share his fear of toes.
Diddy has revealed his unusual phobia, he is frightened of toes. He revealed his fear on The Tonight Show last night, when he appeared alongside Kate Beckinsale. Diddy told Jay Leno, “I have this foot thing… I really fear a long second toe.” Kate started to tease the star about his phobia, moving one of her feet up to show him her toes, laughing and exclaiming, “You won’t even look at it!” Jay Leno was also interested to find out more about Diddy’s fear, aski

I really fear a long second toe."Kate immediately began moving her foot towards him, causing him to look in the opposite direction.The actress giggled: "You won'

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

Kate Beckisale Looks Great on Leno
Kate Beckinsale made a pit stop by The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and looked very good in the process. But are we surprised? No. Kate makes it a habit of looking her very best, and by checking out what God gave her to work with, it can not be all that hard. Kate Beckinsale really highlights her legs in this short, black dress and I don’t mind one bit. It even looks like she’s getting quite friendly with Diddy. However for Diddy, Kate is probably way over dressed to be wearing thos

Late-night comedians say the vice-presidential debate was disappointing
LOS ANGELES - After weeks of anticipation, the vice-presidential debate was a letdown - at least for late-night comedians. "There was nothing embarrassing from either candidate," Jay Leno lamented on NBC's "Tonight" show. "Damn." Even the pundits said there were no losers in Thursday's debate between Republican Sarah Palin and Democrat Joe Biden - "OK, other than gay people who want to get married," Leno said. David Letterman devoted much of his CBS "Late Show" Friday to discussion of the debate, incl
