ABC, FOX, and Sony Want Jay Leno

Even though his job as host of The Tonight Show is coming to an end, Jay Leno could very well remain in the late night spotlight for a long time to come.

ABC and FOX have both expressed interest in hiring Leno when he leaves The Tonight Show in 2009. Sony Pictures Television is also after Leno to host a syndicated show, and to sweeten the pot they are adding a second show into the mix. The second show wouldn't be hosted by Leno, but instead co-owned by him.

NBC announced in September 2004 that Conan O'Brien would succeed Jay Leno as host of The Tonight Show in 2009. The network hopes to retain Leno, either in prime time or in specials.
