The cuts are an effort to save in costs. Even the host, Jay Leno, took a pay cut to save the several jobs of his co-workers. Currently, Leno’s salary is between $20 to $25 million.

On Friday, 20 to 25 staffers were let go, while others decided to take a pay cut.

Comcast Corp., NBC’s parent company, is hoping to stop the hundreds of millions of dollars in losses.
