NBC Gives Jay Leno $15M To Make Him Go Away
It is official and I'm not sure this time that Jay Leno will ever be able to come back. NBC has given Jay Leno $15M to make him go away before his contract with the network expires. This has now paved the way for Jimmy fallon to take over The Tonight Show and Seth Myers to replace Jimmy Fallon on Late Night. Leno will be paid through September 2014, but will step down right before the Winter Olympics which are on NBC and will be used to launch Jimmy Fallon. For his part, there are rumors that Leno will move to Fox and keep his same time slot.
