NBC is coming down like a hammer on celebs who want to get on Jimmy Fallon's show ... if they dare do a show on CBS or ABC ... they can forget about "The Tonight Show."

Sources connected to CBS, NBC and ABC tell TMZ ... the Peacock network believes Jimmy Fallon's ratings success gives them extreme bargaining power. They put the word out to celebs, agents and publicists ... if they want to be on Fallon they can't appear on ANY other network ... and not just shows that go head-to-head with Jimmy, but morning shows as well.

His rahings have already started to slip. What are these people thinking? His ticket isn't that hot.........

If they're so smart (meaning the overhead @NBC), then why did they boot the guy that has set the standard for them since Johnny Carson retired? Twice now, even.
NBC has been horrible for the last 5 years. Leno was bringing in good ratings, and was actually watchable, compared to his competition. Honestly, there really isn't much on NBC that's worth watching anymore. And overall, network TV isn't anything now but stupid 'reality' shows that are just mind numbing. No wonder most people are eat up with the dumb when they watch this tripe for entertainment.

If I am a celeb, I would tell them 'see ya around' and go where I want to go.

Leno didn't take sides politically. He found humor criticizing both sides and every president during his tenure as the Tonight Show host. He became more critical of Obama this past year, talking about Obamacare and Obama's foreign policies. Fallon, while taking pot shots at both sides, has clearly been more sympathetic to Obama and his policies.

Give me Craig Ferguson any day of the week. I personally don't like Fallon.
