Jay Leno is moving to prime time on NBC.
The network announced Tuesday on the
Today show that Leno
will host a new variety show at 10 p.m. on weeknights.
Conan O'Brien will become the host of the
Tonight show
beginning June 1, 2009.
Leno's deal at NBC keeps him from jumping to another network and
competing with O'Brien. It will also save NBC money, as variety
shows are cheaper to produce than dramas.
