Hey there, time traveller!

JAY Leno is "furious" with how NBC has treated him and Conan O’Brien and is considering walking away from the network, the New York Post reported Wednesday.
A day after O’Brien threatened to walk away from NBC, Leno is considering doing the same.
"They have put Jay in a terrible position. It looks like he is the reason that Conan is now without a job. Jay is a great guy and it’s not fair that due to NBC’s stupidity he looks like the bad guy," a TV insider told the celebrity blog PopEater Wednesday.
"Plus, what happens when Jay does return to the 11:35 slot if his audience doesn’t immediately follow? How can he possibly trust the same network that canceled Conan after only seven months?"
The report comes a day after O’Brien broke down in tears while reading to his writing staff his 553-word statement that he no longer wants to host the The Tonight Show if it’s moved to midnight, an insider told The Post.
With Conan out of the picture, Leno would take back The Tonight Show by March 1, if not sooner, after NBC decided to scrap his 10 p.m. show.
Conan’s statement, which can read in its entirety at winnipegfreepress.com, effectively ends Conan’s 16-year affiliation with NBC, several insiders said.
