Iger also wouldn't rule out a play by ABC for Jay Leno, whose NBC late-night deal ends next year, or making Disney content available on Hulu, the NBC Universal/News Corp. joint online video venture.

"It's not something we typically comment on," he said after a pause when interviewer and New Yorker writer Ken Auletta asked him about possibly luring Leno to an ABC deal.

I am dying to know if ABC does get Jay Leno what will happen to Jimmy Kimmel Live

Kimmel is here to stay. He is awesome. If Leno comes to ABC, I bet it will be replacing Nightline. Leno should get his own 30 minute show at 11:35pm. No guests...all Leno. That would be great.

That would be kind of cool. Kind of like a 30 minute monologue. It would be a great lead-in for Kimmel, too, to help its ratings out a bit. Either that, or they could even start the show at 11pm to leave it an hour long, or maybe 11:20pm to make it 45 minutes long (although that would be pretty early for a latenight show)

Yeah, the show entire show could be an extended monologue (maybe 15-20 minutes instead of just 10) and then the 10 minutes afterwards. Headlines and Jaywalking would be musts.

Yeah, I love Kevin. Separating Jay and Kevin is like separating Barbie and Ken-LOL

Well kevin and Jay are not joined at the HIP when it comes to working on TV so i do expect them to seperate once Jay leaves the Tonight show.
