Washington (OTL) – The CBS late night host David Letterman is baffled as to why NBC has decided to replace Jay Leno.
Jay Leno and David Letterman have been late night rivals for years, but that is coming to an end, and Dave does not know why.
David Letterman took part in an interview with Rolling Stone recently, talking about the move.
He stated “I don’t know why, after the job Jay has done for them, why they would relinquish that. I guess they thought it was a less messy way to handle what happened to me at NBC. I don’t know.”
He apparently does not know why NBC made the decision to replace Leno next year.
NBC has planned for four years now to have Conan O’Brien to replace Leno, but few thought it would ever happen.
