"Rosie O&amp;apos;Donnell is urging Jay Leno to step down.\r\n&amp;quot;I think he should walk away,&amp;quot; she said at press tour Thursday while promoting her new HBO special A Family is a Family is a Family.\r\n&amp;quot;If you&amp;apos;re privileged enough to drive the bus, you should say, &amp;apos;Thank you&amp;apos; and drive it to the best of your ability, and when it&amp;apos;s time for them to hire a new driver, you should say &amp;apos;Thank you for allowing me to drive this as long as I did&amp;apos; and pass the keys to the new guy with red hair, and not try to flatten his tires before he even gets going,&amp;quot; she added.\r\n\r\nShe said she plans to reach out to O&amp;apos;Brien.  &amp;quot;I will definitely talk to him,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I&amp;apos;ve heard from a lot of his staff.&amp;quot;\r\nO&amp;#x2019;Donnell said O&amp;#x2019;Brien -- who recently said he would not accept NBC&amp;#x2019;s request to move The Tonight Show to 12:05 a.m. -- is &amp;quot;a fantastic talent.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I think shame on [NBC President] Jeff Zucker and really, shame on Jay Leno,&amp;quot; she went on. &amp;quot;I think he&amp;#x2019;s forgotten his roots and what stand up comedy is about, and graciousness has never been his No. 1 quality. &amp;#x2026; I think it would serve him well to think about what might happen if he were able to let go and grab on to whatever the next rung is.&amp;quot;\r\nAsked if she&amp;apos;d like to join the late night scene, she said: &amp;quot;That question today is like asking if I&amp;apos;d want to have a vacation in Haiti. While I hear that&amp;apos;s an enjoyable place, this isn&amp;apos;t the time to go.&amp;quot;\r\nO&amp;apos;Donnell has previously taken to her blog to urge Leno to quit.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;Just watched Jay bully his way back into college so he could be quarterback  still - again,&amp;quot; she wrote.\r\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
