It’s always important to get a new show off to a good start so I think it’s great that Jerry Seinfeld has agreed to be the first guest on Jay Leno’s new show.
The former late-night talk show host makes the jump to primetime next month with The Jay Leno Show when it premieres on September 14, 2009. I don’t know what to expect, really, but I’m assuming it’s going to be similar to The Tonight Show.
As if that’s not enough star power, Leno has some pretty amazing musical guests for the series opener which will feature performances by Kanye West, Rihanna and Jay-Z.
The show is both a gamble for Leno, who voluntarily quit The Tonight Show only to change his mind too late, as well as NBC who are trying to save money by airing this less-expensive programming in place of an expensive scripted drama in their 10pm slot. Let’s hope the risk pays off.
