"I am disappointed,” Mr. Leno said. “I feel like a guy who has bought a car from somebody, painted it, fixed it up and made it look nice and then the guy comes back and says he promised to sell the car to his brother-in-law."

Jay Leno Criticizes NBC On ‘Tonight’ Cliffhanger - Biography - NYTimes.com - Jay Leno, in 1992, criticizing NBC for considering to replace him with Letterman on The Tonight Show after Leno had hosted it for a few months. Then there’s this:
“NBC is like a guy with two girlfriends who doesn’t know which one he’s going to marry on Jan. 15,” Mr. Leno said. “And the longer you wait, the madder they both get.”
You said it. Jerk.
If NBC had any brains they wouldn’t have even considered pushing the whole late night schedule back 30 minutes for this idiot. The most they deserve at this point is every intelligent person’s disdain. I say intelligent because only tasteless dolts could watch Leno and not be disgusted, even before this whole fiasco.
Thanks Mike for this gem.
