Jay Leno hating on Jimmy Fallon

OHMYGOSSIP — Jay Leno hates his Tonight Show replacement Jimmy Fallon. Sources say Leno is not only furious at being “dissed” by NBC but also plotting his revenge!

“Jay feels he’s been the network’s workhorse, delivering strong ratings, but not getting his just due,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer.

Leno, 63, has hosted Tonight since 1992, but Fallon, 39, will take his place starting Feb. 17, when the show — produced by Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live fame — moves to New York City from L.A.

“Jay feels both he and the people who’ve made Tonight a success are being shoved aside,” said the source. “All because ratings have taken a slight hit and NBC is desperate for a younger audience.

“Fallon thinks Jay’s stand-up style is antiquated while Jay feels Fallon is a lightweight.

“Jay is biding his time, confident that Jimmy will fail like Conan. Then, if the network comes back to him, he’d play hard to get, or hold out for a massive salary increase for himself – and his entire staff.

“Jay knows FOX TV wants him, and he could set up house there by the end of this year, and make NBC and Fallon pay.”
