Videos: Letterman, Conan, Conan statement
Jay Leno let’s fly.
January 12th
(hand transcribed)
Welcome to the Jay Leno Show. As you know, we are not just a show anymore, we are now a collector’s item.
As you may already know, our show has been canceled – fired again!
See, that shows you that NBC’s got nothing. Even when they fire people, it’s a rerun. [Looks to Kevin]. Didn’t we just get fired in May?
NBC said the show performed exactly as they expected it would – and then they canceled it.
Now don’t confuse that when we were on late night, we performed better than expected, and they canceled it – that was totally different!
Now, supposedly we’re moving to 11:30, but even this is not sure. See my people are upset….Conan’s people are upset…
Hey, NBC said they wanted drama at 10. Now they’ve got it – everybody’s mad!
I take pride in one thing: I leave NBC prime time the same way I found it…a complete disaster

The next video is autoplay so I put it on the next page.
Whoo, seen him on the news? Harry Reid is apologizing more than NBC affiliates.
I’m sure you know, NBC announced they’re pulling the plug on our show on February 12th. Here’s the amazing part…that is the exact date the Mayan calendar predicted we would go off the air.
I gotta tell ya, you know, the folks here at NBC – they don’t handle these things well – they don’t have a lot of tact. After they canceled the show, they told me if I put on ten pounds, I could be on Biggest Loser.
