Jay Leno's ABC Future Discussed On "Jimmy Kimmel"

Jimmy Kimmel hosted his potential replacement Thursday night, and didn't ignore the elephant in the room.

"Joining us on the show tonight, the host of 'The Tonight Show' and who knows, maybe even the host of this show evenutally, Jay Leno is here tonight!" Kimmel intro'ed. "First I'm gonna try to convince him not to come take the show away from us, and then I'm going to ask if I can be his announcer."

"I don't know what will happen," Leno said when asked about the possibility of coming to ABC when his NBC contract is up next year. "I'm not allowed to talk to anybody until next-whatever."

Kimmel jokingly suggested that Leno should focus on writing books or getting back into standup when he leaves "The Tonight Show."

"I'm not a good guy with free time," Leno said.

Watch:

Jay Leno's run on "The Tonight Show" ends next year, and many people think there may be a future for him at ABC (he hinted at this possibility in July).
