Jay Leno Moves to Primetime

Jay Leno isn’t leaving your television anytime soon, kids.

NBC announced Tuesday that Jay will get his own show, five nights a week, at 10 pm, after he leaves the Tonight show next May. He’ll be replaced on late-night by Conan O’Brien.

“A lot of people were shocked,” Leno joked on his show Tuesday night. “They didn’t know NBC still had a prime time.”

No word yet on what kind of show Leno will be doing for the primetime slot.
