Tonight Show host Jay Leno has canceled taping of the late night show and checked himself into a Los Angeles hospital.No word yet on what's wrong with him. Those of you expecting to see Ryan Reynolds or Big Bad Voodoo Daddy tonight will have to settle for a rerun with Prince, Paul Giamatti, and Emma Roberts. NBC co-chairman Ben Silverman is quoted as saying, "OH MY GOD WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AT 10PM?! NO NO NO!" There's also no word on whether or not Leno will be available to tape tomorrow's show. I would guess that since it's the last day of the week they'll throw a rerun in there too (though with Leno's need to work he could do a show from his hospital room).
Now...will Letterman say something about it on his show tonight (assuming he heard by his taping time)?
UPDATE: tomorrow's show has been canceled too.

I do too.... Maybe he'll take this as a sign that he should work less next year? Perhaps give an hour for Chuck?

Hey, I lived in Minneapolis in the mid- to late 1980s and knew people who went to high school with Prince Nelson. Mr. Nelson's song on the Tonight Show rerun was, sad to say, far below his (onetime) songwriting standards... it's kind of sad that he continues to need validation (he sure doesn't need the money!).

I hope that he is okay but it is always fun to see guest hosts on these type of shows
So I am also kind of hoping that he takes a few weeks off
