With rumors heating up that NBC is planning on replacing Jay Leno, HollywoodLife reports EXCLUSIVELY that FOX is waiting in the wings to give him a new late night show! Read on for more exclusive details.
Reportedly, Jimmy Fallon may be replacing Jay Leno in the 11:35 PM time slot soon, but he shouldn’t worry — it looks like he won’t have to wait long to get a new job.
Jay Leno: FOX Will Offer Him A Show
A source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively that ”FOX is 100% going to offer Jay Leno a late night spot if NBC decides to get rid of him.” Wow — how’s that for job security?
The source also tells us that FOX is really looking forward even though Jay hasn’t officially been let go — they’re already brainstorming show names! ”Some names thrown around for the show are, ‘Leno,’ ‘The Other Show with Jay Leno’ or ‘Jay’. Those are the names that have been thrown around,” the source says. Hmm, sounds like FOX is ripping off Jay’s other former replacement Conan O’Brien – his TBS late night show is simply named Conan.
Jay Leno: FOX May Persuade NBC To Re-Sign Him
But FOX shouldn’t get too ahead of themselves — as we also exclusively reported on Mar. 6, NBC is still hesitant to pull the trigger and promote Jimmy Fallon. “NBC is scared if they do it, they think that Jay would go elsewhere,” our source tells HollywoodLife. Well obviously — FOX is pretty much just waiting to take Jay off their hands.
So will FOX’s eagerness dissuade NBC? The insider tells us that it may change their minds: “They are more prone on signing Jay to another contract"
What do you think of the potential late night shakeup, HollywoodLifers? Let us know!
