On Friday, the NBC network, part of Comcast, imposed budget cuts at “The Tonight Show,†which included layoffs of between 20 and 25 staff members. The host, Jay Leno, took a pay cut, according to a person with direct knowledge of the cuts, in order to limit the number of layoffs. On Monday, Mr. Leno joined the long line of late-night hosts who use the monologue to take aim at the boss: “As you may have heard, our parent company has downsized ‘The Tonight Show.' And we've consistently been No. 1 in the ratings. And if you know anything about our network, that kind of thing is frowned upon.â€
