Jay Leno, the standup comic who found fame as a guest-host for the Late Johnny Carson on "The Tonight's Show", then took over as host after a celebrated battle for the spot with David Letterman, is explaining as I write this that he's leaving "The Tonight's Show With Jay Leno" for a new primetime spot at 10 AM.
It seems NBC's moving more toward primetime formats that take advantage of the public's hunger for humor, and particularly political humor of the kind introduced by "Saturday Night Live", "The Colbert Report", and "The Daily Show."
The name of the new show has not been decided upon as of this writing.
