Jay Leno Continues Attack on NBC Brass

This week it was widely reported that the NBC network has begun implementing a plan to bring THE TONIGHT SHOW back to its original home, New York City, with Jimmy Fallon officially taking the reins from Leno, who hosts from Burbank, CA. The publication also confirmed that execs were gutting a studio within 30 Rockefeller Plaza, prepping and updating it to welcome Fallon - and TONIGHT - as early as the fall of 2014.

The rumors have prompted Leno to use his nightly monologue as a means to express his outrage towards top NBC execs. On last night's show, Leno quipped, "Are you all excited about March Madness?" he asked the Tonight audience at the taping earlier today. "Are you all into March Madness? People are talking about who's in, who's out, who's gonna be eliminated. And that's just here at NBC. I've never been in the paper this much. It's fantastic."

Though Leno remains competitve in the ratings, Jimmy Kimmel has been beating him in the all-important 18-49 demographic. "Kimmel has done extremely well," says a network source, adding, "Jay wins overall, but on any given night, it's neck-and-neck in 18-49. I understand where they might have fear and also feel that they own the solution [in Fallon.]"
