Stung by criticism from several of his own staffers, “Tonight Show” host Jay Leno has promised to pay employee salaries through at least this week.
According to a source close to Leno, the host will pay around 100 “Tonight Show” staffers on a week-by-week basis — taking the optimistic approach that a strike will be settled soon.
Most of the workers were officially pinkslipped by NBC on Friday; the staff at “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” was also let go the same day.
