No matter what time he is on…he will still suck!!

Leno anticipates return to 11:30, lauds O’Brien
LOS ANGELES ñ Jay Leno turned serious on his show Monday to discuss the late-night chaos at NBC, explaining events from his standpoint and telling viewers he considered Conan O’Brien a “great guy.”
In remarks after his monologue Monday, Leno said he’d tried to avoid doing a show in prime time but was convinced by NBC that it could work.
It didn’t, with NBC pulling the plug on “The Jay Leno Show” after four months and devising a plan to put Leno back on at 11:30 p.m. and push O’Brien and “Tonight” to midnight. With O’Brien’s rejection of the plan, NBC is now trying to negotiate his exit and return Leno to the late-night spot.
Leno said it looks like he might be back at 11:30 and that the situation could be resolved by Tuesday.
