Tough Times? Jay Leno Forced to take $10 Million Pay Cut and Tonight Show Fires 20 Staffers

Tweet

Jay Leno shows us that all that glitters isn’t gold, as the Tonight Show is having some tough financial times. The show has reportedly laid off 20 – 25 employees and the host has taken a massive pay cut of $10 million dollars.

It’s hard to feel bad for Leno, who was making way too much at $30 million, but it does send a signal that perhaps the show was a bit over bloated in the first place.

Leno, at the age of 62, is now collecting a cool $20 million.
