NBC Universal Television Entertainment Chairman
Jeff Gaspin confirmed on Sunday that Leno's show is ending in mid-February.
Gaspin hopes to have Leno back on the air at 11:35 p.m. and move both Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Fallon's shows back a half hour. However, that goal is not on paper yet.
There will not be new series filling the 10 p.m. time slot left open by Leno's departure. Viewers will be given more Dateline and reality shows.
Entertainment Weekly reports:
NBC prez Angela Bromstad said, “We have absolutely dedicated our resources to fortifying and building up our development slate.”
