THERE’s bad blood between JAY LENO and his “Tonight Show” replacement Jimmy Fallon, sources say, and Leno is not only furious at being “dissed” by NBC but also plotting his revenge!
“Jay feels he’s been the network’s workhorse, delivering strong ratings, but not getting his just due,” said an insider.
Leno, 63, has hosted “Tonight” since 1992, but Fallon, 39, will take his place starting Feb. 17, when the show – produced by Lorne Michaels of “Saturday Night Live” fame – moves to New York City from L.A.
“Jay feels both he and the people who’ve made ‘Tonight’ a success are being shoved aside,” said the source. “All because ratings have taken a slight hit and NBC is desperate for a younger audience.”
