NBC is mulling a scheduling shakeup that would put Jay Leno back in late-night and put an end to the experiment that brought the talk show host to prime-time.
A person familiar with discussions held Thursday said the network is considering a scenario that would include a half-air Leno show at 11:35 p.m., pushing “The Tonight Show” with Conan O’Brien to 12:05 and Jimmy Fallon’s “Late Night” to 1:05 a.m.
The person wasn’t authorized to speak publicly about the discussions and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Leno’s nightly 10 p.m. talk and comedy show has drawn lackluster ratings and complaints from NBC affiliate stations that the show has been a weak lead-in for local late newscasts and hurt their viewership.
The proposed new lineup could go into effect after NBC concludes its Olympics coverage at the end of February.
