So all of those people would be fired and never work together again. Its a lot more difficult decision than just 1 guy taking over for another, hundreds of people who have worked together for years would have lost their jobs
If Jay Leno left NBC, the big networks would have definitely came knocking. He could have easily displaced Jimmy Kimmel on ABC or got the FOX affiliates to make room for him. He could have kept his staff together for another show.
