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 (maily ABC) and studios lining up for his services.[2][3] 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]
