Jay Leno's jump to 10 p.m. has been anything but smooth, and now the comedian is airing his frustration.
In a lengthy interview with "Broadcast & Cable," the host of the "The Jay Leno Show" takes most of the blame for his new show's poor ratings, but also reveals that the earlier time slot was not his idea.
"Would I have preferred to stay at 11:30?" he asks himself in the interview. "Yeah, sure. I would have preferred that."
