This year began with an almighty mess at NBC as the U.S. network decided to backtrack on switching Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien around in the schedules after just eight months of the new order being put in place.
The upshot is that O’Brien has left the network completely, while Leno is returning to The Tonight Show from Monday (March 1).
This video shows the NBC promo for Leno’s return to the 11.35pm slot. Except for one thing. Instead of Get Back by The Beatles playing over the top, Creep by Radiohead provides the soundtrack. And it fits much better.
I don’t really care who hosts The Tonight Show, but Leno has clearly behaved badly through the whole thing. And this promo is no exception. Could he have pulled a more smug face than that? The man clearly has no scruples.
