The Jay Leno Show is an American
talk show created by and starring
Jay Leno. Premiering on
NBC on September 14, 2009, the program aired on weeknights at 10:00 p.m.
ET/
PT through February 9, 2010. The program was modeled upon the format of a
late night talk show—specifically,
Jay Leno's incarnation of The Tonight Show, opening with a comedic
monologue, followed by interviews with celebrity guests and other comedy segments. Sketches from
The Tonight Show (including
Headlines and
Jaywalking) were carried over to
The Jay Leno Show, along with new sketches.
