Any possible hope NBC had of retaining Jay Leno at their network has no completely vanished.

In an unusual move, the talk show titan has finally proclaimed publicly that he is done with the peacock network next year, when they are forcing him to leave The Tonight Show for Conan O'Brien.

In a new interview, Leno says:

"I am definitely done next year - with NBC. I'm not a beach guy, and the last time I was in my pool was to fix a light. Don't worry, I'll find a job somewhere."

Getting fired from NBC was probably the best move for Leno and television.

He'll make mad money on ABC (or Fox) and now TV will have a third show at 11:35 P.M.

Woo hoo!
