Culture: TV salvation: My new name is “Basic Cable Earl on TBS”

  • However, there may be hope! TBS, which plans to carry repeats of “Earl,” is in early talks to take on the show, although with a drastically-reduced budget. source

Culture: As he leaves “The Tonight Show,” here’s a Jay Leno quote to live by

  • I had two jobs as a kid, one at a fast-food restaurant and one at a Ford dealership. And I’d put the money from one job in one pocket and spend it. And the other paycheck I’d save. I do that now. I have always banked my Tonight Show money and lived off the stand-up.
  • Jay Leno • Who we still think is pretty unfunny, but admit that we admire just a tiny bit more after reading this little bit about him. He has charitable organizations set up, by the way. Also, Leno will be back in the fall for his 10 p.m. gig after his final “Tonight Show” … well, tonight. • source
