NBC Stands By Leno

As rumors circulated that The Jay Leno Show was being cancelled, NBC released a statement to refuting those claims as they are planning to keep the fledgling show on the air.

The network states:

“Jay Leno is one of the most compelling entertainers in the world today. As we have said all along, Jay’s show has performed exactly as we anticipated on the network. It has, however, presented some issues for our affiliates. Both Jay and the show are committed to working closely with them to find ways to improve the performance.”

So, did they anticipate having to improve its performance?! Put that show out of its misery!
