Leno, immigration, state budget, oh my!

Well, that was lively. Not surprisingly, many of you had strong feelings about the much-rumored likelihood that NBC will move Jay Leno back to 11:30 (albeit in truncated form). Much as I like Conan O'Brien, I always thought it was a mistake to chase Jay from the Tonight Show. It's nice that NBC thinks about the future, but you don't take your star pitcher out of the game when he's still throwing the heat.

Our discussion of that UCLA study on immigration, as expected, prompted plenty of sparks between the guests and lots of calls and blog postings from you. Say what you will about the subject, my sense is that immigration reform has to be part of any long-term approach to boosting the economy. These workers are an integral part of the machinery.

And thanks to KPCC's Julie Small for giving us a sneak peek at the state budget. All we know for sure is that it ain't gonna be pretty.

Larry followed with FilmWeek and, as usual, helped us all know how to spend our multiplex money. See you next time.
