NYT says Leno wheeling, dealing

Even though he’s technically not allowed to cut any deals for another two years, Jay Leno is, according to the NYT, being courted by a number of entities.

Sony Pictures Television has made an approach through intermediaries to let Mr. Leno and his representatives know that as soon as he is allowed to discuss his next move, the studio will make him a rich offer for a syndicated late-night show that would make him the highest-paid host in late-night television, put his name on a new theater on the Sony lot and give him a financial interest in Sony music artists who appear on his show.

Fox and ABC are said to be in the hunt as well.
