Jay Leno made TV history last week as the debut of the new "Jay Leno Show" on NBC marked the first time any big Network ran a series five nights a week during primetime hours. Anticipation for the new show was markedly high as more than 18 million viewers tuned in for the big debut.
The show's ratings dropped throughout the week, but even though Leno faces stiff competition in the ten o'clock hour- from shows like "CSI Miami" and "The Mentalist"- NBC hopes that the low cost of the show will help generate higher profits. "If you've watched promos for this new show 'Trauma,' we can do three shows in what it takes to blow up the helicopter in the promo," Leno joked in a conference call last week.
"The Jay Leno Show" features some of the tonight show's most popular elements from "The Tonight Show," including "Jaywalking" and Jay's opening monologue, but the new show intends to focus more on conversation and comedy. Some critics have dubbed the show a near repeat of "The Tonight Show," but USC students seemed impressed by and excited about Leno's new changes.
