The Jay Leno Show is the tentative title of an American prime time/late night television talk show created by and starring Jay Leno, to premiere September 2009, following the May 2009 conclusion of Leno's tenure as host of The Tonight Show.
Overview
The show will air weeknights at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on NBC, and will originate from the same NBC studio in Burbank, California where Tonight currently broadcasts. The new series is expected to feature many segments carried over from Tonight, including "Headlines" and "Jaywalking".[1]
History
NBC had announced in 2004 that Leno would leave The Tonight Show at the end of May 2009, with Conan O'Brien set to take over days later. However, soon after the announcement, rumors began to circulate that Leno wanted to continue as a talk show host, with several networks and studios lining up for his services[2][3]. The rumor was ABC would pick up the show. Jay himself fueled the rumor during a Headlines sketch in mid 2008 in which he showed a TV directory's cover with a misprint that read "Watch The Tonight Show on ABC", to which he joked "it's like a message from the future". NBC eventually signed a new deal with Leno, which was announced on December 9, 2008.[1]
While the series may not be competitive with the higher-rated scripted shows in its time slot, its cost of production will be far lower and thus economically beneficial to NBC.[3]
