Howard Stern Mouths Off On Lenos Return

Howard stern was interviewed by cbs television about his reaction to the return of jay leno to the tonight show. stern let it be known that he hates jay leno and thinks that he does not have an original bone in his body. stern praised david letterman who is a known friend of sterns. stern says leno who is a multi millionaire many times over should have left nbc and taken his late nite abilities to a rival network the way lettermen did when he was passed over by nbc years ago for the job that leno wound up getting. stern says conan obrien never got a fair shot at the show with leno taking all his guests in the ten oclock slot and stealing all of conans thunder while flopping miserably on his ten pm show. howard says he is the only one who is not afraid to bad mouth leno…everybody else kisses up to leno because of his power weilding tonight show position. We were wondering if jay leno ever thought about how well he might have done on the tonight show when he started if johnny carson had been moved to 10 oclock. Johnny would have probably gotten great ratings in that slot and leno probably wouldnt have lasted seven days compared to seven months for conan. Luckily for leno the nbc executives who worked at nbc when he got the tonight show didnt have this brainstorm like the execs who work there today.
