More Late Night Stuff

This article says — based on pretty remote sourcing, it would seem — that ABC may try to sign Jay Leno to host an 11:35 late night program after he leaves The Tonight Show. Well, yes, they may. If Jay doesn't sign a new deal of some sort with NBC, he's going to become a free agent with a phenomenal track record in late night…and I imagine he'll get juicy offers from a lot of folks who'd like to compete in that daypart. As news items go, I'd be more impressed if there was something in there about an actual offer or some reason to believe Leno would be interested. But the first goes without saying and I doubt the latter.
