Jay Leno defends his move to prime time
Jay Leno, in an exclusive interview, responds to criticism over his move to prime time and its effect on the rest of NBC's schedule, and said the show, if it maintains its current ratings among the 18-to-49 demographic, is on track to make $300 million this year. "You don't take it personally because there's really no fun in an upbeat story," Leno said. "The fun is, they did this and let's watch it fall. I enjoy being the underdog."
