"The Jay Leno Show" has been a complete and utter failure.
That, at least, is the conventional wisdom that’s emerged in the entertainment media. Hardly a week goes by without some outlet declaring NBC’s 10 p.m. talk show gambit to be a disaster of "Pink Lady and Jeff" proportions.
Indeed, the entertainment news media was whipped into a frenzy Thursday when a random local TV news business website posted a report that NBC had already decided to kill Leno — followed by a TMZ report that the network was moving him back to his old 11:30 slot.
The network admitted it was talking to affiliates about changes, but denied it has yet made any decision to dump Jay.
