NBC Quickly Wipes Away Jay Leno From Their Memory

NBC is already distancing themselves from Jay Leno ... by erasing his name off the side of the building where he shot "The Tonight Show."

The network sent a team of painters armed with rollers and a forklift to white-out Jay's billboard -- just ONE DAY after he signed off from the show.

The interesting thing is Jimmy Fallon's moving the show to NYC, so the net's not really under a deadline to change the signage before Jimmy takes over the reigns. Looks like the network just wanted to let Jay know that this "goodbye" is permanent.
