Bulldog to Host ‘The Tonight Show’ in 2016
NBC has confirmed that Rocky, an up-and-coming canine TV personality, has been tapped to replace Jay Leno when The Tonight Show host retires in 2016.
“We’ve obtained a leaked copy of the contract, and it specifically says ‘no backsies,’ ” explains Dale Hardwick of The Hollywood Reporter, alluding to the 2010 kerfuffle between Leno and then host Conan O’Brien. “Once Leno is done, he’s done for good. That’s when Rocky will really be able to put his unique spin on the property.” Sources close to the comic dog say he’s big on bacon jokes.
As yet, there is no public comment from Late Night host Jimmy Fallon, whom many assumed would one day inherit the coveted 11:30 time slot.
