“The Late ‘Jay Leno Show’”

Over the weekend, NBC announced a major programming revamp over affiliates’ issues with The Jay Leno Show at 10pm. While NBC says they believe the shuffle may allow the network to climb back on top, CBS, ABC, and FOX just think it’s cute that NBC still considers itself a network.

NBC says Leno’s 10pm show will end when the Winter Olympics begins, marking the first time in decades anyone in America looked forward to the Winter Olympics.

If NBC puts Leno on for half an hour at 11:30, follow by an hour of Conan and then and hour of Jimmy Fallon, Carson Daly’s Last Call at 1:30 would be cancelled. Some people were upset about this announcement; particularly about being reminded that Carson Daly exists.

Daly’s show would have been cancelled years ago, but NBC’s late night programming rules say you no one can say anything negative in a sentence with the word ‘Carson.’
