I like Jay Leno. He showed a lot of class with all the nonsense at NBC to replace him with a younger host. It would be funny if this new show took the DVR audience from his current replacement. I know I'll probably record it and watch it before the Fallon Tonight Show. hollywoodreporter.com Jay Leno Nears Deal to Launch CNBC Show (Exclusive) 9:34 AM PST 10/08/2014 by Matthew Belloni Jordan Strauss/Invision for The Alfred Mann Foundation/AP Images The move would bring him back into the NBCUniversal fold after his exit earlier this year from NBC's 'Tonight Show' Leno is close to a deal to host a new show for cable network CNBC, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. The show will focus on Leno's longtime love of cars and will air in primetime, not late night. Landing Leno is a coup for CNBC. The network, known for financial news, has been trying to broaden its viewership by airing reality shows like The Profit and Restaurant Startup in primetime. Its biggest draw is reruns of financial game show Shark Tank, which have performed very well for the network.

Sources say he was courted by several outlets, including CNN, A&E, History and the Tribune stations. But Leno has been loyal to NBC (his car-themed web series Jay's Garage is still hosted on NBC.com), and he has a relationship with CNBC president Mark Hoffman. CNBC aired a Jay's Garage special over the Labor Day weekend called Jay's Garage: The Ultimate Car Week.

The comic hasn't slowed down since giving up his nightly NBC perch after 22 years. Unlike his Tonight Show predecessor Johnny Carson, who mostly disappeared from the public eye when he left the show in 1992, the famously workaholic Leno has kept busy. He has toured the country with his stand-up act, hosted an awards show in Jerusalem in May, and earlier this month he joined NBC's Al Roker and others in Afghanistan to launch a USO tour.

"Nothing would make us happier than for him, a la Bob Hope, to still be a presence on the network," Greenblatt said during the TCA summer press tour in July 2013. Email: Matthew.Belloni@THR.com

HMM was apple blindsided re GTAT? They were working to keep GTAT solvent? So let me think about this logically. That either means APPLE'S finance guys are inept or were aware.. For those who understand a few things know companies with BILLIONS IN CASH.. can do lots of things to make sure a company they work with stays solvent. Think back to the early 2000's and who was HELPING APPLE. Did it work.. HMMM I'd say so. GIve it time.. At some point someone will know and put up the details. Fintas
