Janet Jackson Giving Payback To Jay Leno Over Michael Jackson?
It's been a rough couple of weeks for Jay Leno.
Amidst sinking ratings on The Jay Leno Show and other networks discouraging their stars from appearing on Jay Leno's prime time talk show experiment, there are rumors that Janet Jackson has rejected an invite to appear this month on Jay Leno as the former Tonight Show host was believed to be interested in paying tribute to Michael Jackson when "This Is It" hits theaters October 28th.
Although some sources at NBC say Janet Jackson is avoiding Jay Leno like the plague in order to pay him back for years of jokes at her brother Michael Jackson's expense, Janet was more than hapy, however, to appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno in 2004 (see video below).
Although NBC has not yet confirmed any plans for The Jay Leno Show to present a themed program surrounding Michael Jackson's "This Is It," those close to Jay Leno say the comedian is eager to pay respect to the late King of Pop and there is now a rapidly closing window of opportunity to achieve this.
