    Conan O’Brien may not be the only late-night talk show host at NBC who has had it up to here with the network’s bungling of their prime-time and late-night lineups.

    Popeater.com is reporting that a source close to the “Jay Leno Show” said Leno is considering following O’Brien out of the network television laughingstock.

    “Now that Conan has made it clear he is leaving the troubled network, Jay is considering doing the same. They have put Jay in a terrible position. It looks like he is the reason that Conan is now without a job. Jay is a great guy and it’s not fair that due to NBC’s stupidity he looks like the bad guy,” a source told the site.

    To be clear, O’Brien has not said publicly at this time that he wants to leave NBC, just that he will not accomodate NBC’s proposal to host the “Tonight Show” at 12:05 a.m.

    “How can [Leno] possibly trust the same network that canceled Conan after only seven months?” the source told Popeater.com.

    Good question.
