Comcast to Outsource Jay Leno - to be replaced by Max Headroom ?

The Tonight Show with Max Headroom


Of course anybody can replace Jay Leno, at least that is what the greedy execs as Comcast probably plan on doing.  Outsourcing is standard operating procedure in current American business.

If you can't outsource a TV personality's job to India or China, you can replace him with a video game image talking head and save the estimated 25-30 million dollar salary wasted on just one person.


Layoffs at the Tonight Show are only the beginning.

As a part of a major budget-restructuring plan, at least 20 employees were laid off from the NBC late-night show Friday, an NBC rep confirmed to E! News, and the Tonight Show host reportedly offered to take a pay cut to save jobs, according to the LA Times. 

Jay? Is that you?
