Seinfeld Up First for Leno

Share

(Newser) – Jerry Seinfeld will be the lone guest on Jay Leno’s maiden primetime outing, the LA Times reports. That’s fitting, considering Leno has said he consulted Seinfeld when contemplating NBC’s offer for the 10pm show.

Leno has said he’d like to have just one or occasionally two guests per show, to go along with musical acts—the first episode features Kayne West, Jay Z, and Rihanna—and regular correspondents like DL Hughley and Brian Williams.

I wish Jay had retired altogether. I hope his new show dies. Now, a Seinfeld reunion would be a different thing altogether... Reply

"Hate"? Jay expresses an opinion many share, not based on hate but rather loss of appeal, yet you call it 'hate'. Caps, you've become a twitch monkey. Chill-the-fuck-out
