The New York Times
is buzzing with word that Leno, who will be elbowed out at year's end by NBC/Conan O'Brien - is still a free agent and a young guy at 57. And sounds like plenty of offers still have a lot of teeth to them...
Sony Pictures Television has made an approach through intermediaries to let Mr. Leno and his representatives know that as soon as he is allowed to discuss his next move, the studio will make him a rich offer for a syndicated late-night show that would make him the highest-paid host in late-night television, put his name on a new theater on the Sony lot and give him a financial interest in Sony music artists who appear on his show.
