Peter Lassally Saddened By Nbc's Leno Plan

摘要

Peter Lassally, a chief architect of The Tonight Show in the halcyon days of Johnny Carson, says he is saddened by NBC's decision to strip Jay Leno at 10 p.m., in effect lessening the importance of the 11:35 p.m. time slot it is handing over to Conan O'Brien. "It doesn't feel good to me at all," says Lassally, the longtime late-night producer who now helms Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show on CBS. "It is very depressing." Lassally says he should not be the only person disappointed in NBC's new lineup and what it means for The Tonight Show in the network's pecking order.
