It’s Official: Jay Leno Moving To Primetime

December 10th, 2008

After news leaked yesterday that Jay Leno would be moving to primetime, once he finishes up on ‘The Tonight Show’ next year, US television network NBC officially confirmed the details on Tuesday (December 9).

“Jay has played a major role in defining NBC’s brand of high-quality entertainment,” Ben Silverman from NBC said of Leno’s move to 10pm for ‘The Jay Leno Show.’  “The 10 o’clock hour will bring Jay a whole new audience and provide a great lead-in both for our local affiliates and for Conan O’Brien, the next great host of ‘The Tonight Show.’”

Rick Ludwin, Executive Vice President of Late Night and Primetime Series, went one step further saying, “This is the greatest all-star comedy lineup in the history of television.”
