Jay Leno Considers Leaving NBC

Jay Leno is not happy with the way things are going down and he thinks NBC has handled the situation terribly. With Conan O'Brien  sticking his middle finger up at the network, Leno is not liking what the drama is doing to his image and may follow suit.

Rob Shuter from Pop Eater claims to have the inside scoop that Leno is sick of NBC's antics. "Now that Conan has made it clear he is leaving the troubled network, Jay is considering doing the same. They have put Jay in a terrible position. It looks like he is the reason that Conan is now without a job. Jay is a great guy and it's not fair that due to NBC's stupidity he looks like the bad guy," Shuter says an insider told him.

The source also adds, "Plus, what happens when Jay does return to the 11:35 slot if his audience doesn't immediately follow? How can he possibly trust the same network that canceled Conan after only seven months?"

However, Conan may not be off the hook so easily. A source tells TMZ that Conan's reps never actually asked for a guaranteed time period when they negotiated the $40 million deal meaning that if NBC wants to push the show to as late as 3 a.m., even, the host would have little to no recourse. Conan argues that since The Tonight Show has always been on at the same time, the time slot was "implied."

Moreover,  some employees of  The Tonight Show  and NBC have  created a  Facebook page  and changed their picture to a cartoon  image of O'Brien that features the words, "I'm With COCO."
