Jay Leno will be moving to the 10pm Eastern/9pm Central timeslot, which will certainly mean interesting times for local NBC affiliate newscasts that will now fall between two topical talk shows. It's a strange move, to be sure -- the timeslot used to belong to shows like "The West Wing" -- but it fits within NBC's ever-expanding "Tonight" and "Today" show format. If this keeps expanding, we might enter the realm of bent space-time.
