Leno bites the hand that feeds him: keeps barbs at NBC coming after dinner with executives
LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Jay Leno is keeping up a comedy assault on his NBC bosses even after being treated to a make-nice dinner.
During his monologue Friday, the “Tonight Show” host asked his Burbank studio audience if they’d heard about his “alleged feud” with NBC.
Leno started taking on-air potshots at the network this month amid reports that NBC plans to replace him at “Tonight” with Jimmy Fallon.
According to a NBC transcript from Friday’s taping, Leno said that after dinner Thursday with a “bunch of NBC executives,” they offered to make things up to him: He and his wife are going on an all-expenses-paid Carnival Cruise, he joked.
In February, passengers endured five nightmarish days on a crippled Carnival ship in the Gulf of Mexico.
