TMZ claims that Jay Leno’s 10:00 PM show will go on hiatus February 1, with Leno taking back his 11:30p.m. time slot after the Winter Olympics. The report notes though that the future of Conan is unclear: he may be dumped or moved to a midnight slot.

Earlier reports from other sites claimed that Leno was being dumped altogether following poor ratings for his 10p.m. show, rumors that NBC has denied.

A report from the Wall Street Journal noted sources within the network saying that NBC Universal is re-evaluating the future of “The Jay Leno Show,” adding some weight to the reports that changes are coming in one form or another.

A virtual attempt to lynch Jamie Foxx over his Miley Cyrus jokes has unfortunately resulted if Foxx having to grovel for forgiveness on Leno.

“I so apologize … and this is sincere,” Foxx said. “I am a comedian, and you guys know that whatever I say, I don’t mean any of it. And sometimes, as comedians, as we do, we go a little bit too far. I have a radio show… We’re really the black Howard Stern. We go at everybody. There was a situation with Miley Cyrus, and I just want to say, I apologize for what I said. I didn’t mean it maliciously. You know I’m a comedian. You know my heart. Miley, I apologize, so I’ll call you. I got a daughter too, so I completely understand.”

The general outrage over Foxx’s comments seems to have centered on the fact that Miley wasn’t fair game because she’s “only 16.” So apparently it’s wrong for Foxx to joke about Miley, but it’s ok for Miley to mock Asians (and then give an insincere apology for doing so), act like a prima dona over Radiohead (including threatening to ruin their careers) and to insult fans of Lewis Carroll and Disney movies by saying that Alice in Wonderland is all about drugs, because she’s “only 16.”

18 can’t come quickly enough for Miley, then hopefully it will be open season.

Here’s the video of Jamie Foxx groveling for forgiveness for daring to attack Saint Miley:

The Jay Leno appearance went mostly well. Obama cracked some jokes, spoke seriously about the economy, and defended Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. But Obama without a teleprompter always shortens the odds of a mistake, like last year when he cracked a joke about Nancy Reagan and seances. And true to form he did, comparing his Ten-Pin Bowling skills to the Special Olympics.

Q Now, are they going to put a basketball — I imagine the bowling alley has been just burned and closed down.

THE PRESIDENT: No, no. I have been practicing all — (laughter.)

Q Really? Really?

THE PRESIDENT: I bowled a 129. (Laughter and applause.)

Q No, that’s very good. Yes. That’s very good, Mr. President.

THE PRESIDENT: It’s like — it was like Special Olympics, or something. (Laughter.)

Q No, that’s very good.

THE PRESIDENT: No, listen, I’m making progress on the bowling, yes.

Conservative blogs are naturally condemning the comments as insensitive, and the White House issued a statement apologizing for the remark even before the interview went to air. No quotes yet from disability groups, but you can guess what they will be.

Here’s the video of Obama on Leno and the Special Olympics comment:
