Jay Leno might leave NBC in the wake of a late night controversy that has shaken the Peacock Network to its very foundation.

"Now that Conan has made it clear he is leaving the troubled network, Jay is considering doing the same," a source told the Web site. "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.
