Don't Watch the Tonight Show- jay leno doesn't deserve it

[Vteckidd]

So...Leno is obligated to keep an agreement from 5 years ago?? Yeah...riiiight. Things change. People change their mind. Unless it was signed in ink, it doesn't really matter. You can't honestly expect someone to keep his word for that long. The times have changed, and he may have thought it was time then, but he's obviously seeing differently now. It's his career. If he's not ready to quit, then he shouldn't have to. Especially if he still thinks he's up to it.

A lot of people enjoy Leno. It's been that way for awhile. Carson probably retired because he was ready to. Leno may not be ready to. And that's ok. Would you retire from a successful career if you still thought there was a lot left you could do and gain from it? No.

As for switching to another network...some hosts have loyalty to their network. And it's about the money too. If Leno is comfortable at NBC, then he should stay. I wouldn't wanna move somewhere else if I didn't have to.

I guess you don't care for honesty or integrity. Leno signed his retirement papers otherwise he could have backed out.

When you give your word an host a show for 17 years, then don't honor that agreement and do everything to ensure your successor fails yeah you're a douchebag.

It's business. Since when does "honesty" and "integrity" get you far in business?? Almost never.

The only reason Leno even agreed to retire 5 years ago was because NBC said he probably wouldn't have the ratings that he had then. As I stated before, things change. Leno kept the ratings and thus stayed with the show. It's a smart BUSINESS move on his part.
