Jay Leno Returns to NBC with the Jay Leno Show

Finally! Jay Leno is at last returning to NBC's primetime television with his new talk show The Jay Leno Show. I am beaming with delight, especially after having had suffered four grueling months of Conan O'Brien's whiny voice. I respect Conan; he's a brilliant interviewer and some of his antics are indeed hilarious. But truthfully, I can't tolerate his tedious monologues, overdone imitations, and outrageous skits. And don't even get me started on his telenovela Conando-methinks it's whack! Thank God for Jay's return! **breaths in a sigh of relief** The king of late night television is back, baby!

The Jay Leno Show is scheduled to premiere on NBC at 10:00pm (EST) on September 14^th, 2009. Like its counterpart The Tonight Show, Jay's new show will air for an hour, during which he will interview guests and allow musical acts to perform. There will, however, be a greater focus on antics and skits. Tonight Show routines like Headlines and Jaywalking will be returning as well, but at the END of the episode instead of the beginning. Here's a basic outline of the new format:

10 Minute Monologue
Celebrity Guest + Antics/Skits
Musical Guest (Twice a Week)
Tonight Show Segments (Headlines, Jaywalking)

It's not quite the same, but it harbors enough of Jay's savvy style to keep me entertained!
