As if we expect anything original!
According to NBC’s TV entertainment chairman Jeff Gaspin, Jay Leno‘s return to The Tonight Show will be a hybrid between his first run with the late night franchise and The Jay Leno Show.
Sigh.
“They’re going to make some alterations to the studio to make it more intimate. There’s elements of the current show they like, and there’s elements from The Tonight Show they’d like to bring back,” said Gaspin. “I would be surprised if they didn’t bring back the desk and a couch, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a new desk and couch.”
REALLY?! That’s all you’ve got?!
Although the studio tried to keep both Jay and Conan, they feel that they were too optimistic and are sure Leno is the right person for the job.
“I think Leno will be competitive at 11:35 p.m.,” he continued. “I think his fan base is very strong and they will welcome him back. I don’t think they’re paying nearly as much attention to what’s going on as we are.
Luck to you! You’ll need it.
