Yeah, judging from the changes being made to the LinkedIn profiles of my friends at NBC, I'd guess the number is at least 25... possibly more.
I was listening to a podcast the other day where the hosts were talking about Leno and his oft' used remark that he has never touched a dime of his Tonight Show money. As they said, at first he sounds like he is boasting, but when you stop and think about all the charities and causes he could be supporting with that money, Leno really comes across as a massive c*ck. In this instance, since he doesn't touch the money, he could take a 100% salary decrease and pay for 100 staffers to stroke his ego and tell him he is funny.
