Jay Leno Only Slightly More Excited than America About His Return To 11:35
With only five days left between us and Jay Leno's return to the Tonight Show, NBC dispatched a camera crew to the underground garage where they've been keeping their trusty host hostage. Over the course of the past two weeks, the American public has hopefully forgiven the Peacock (one sensationalized Olympic athlete narrative at a time), and it was time to reintroduce them to their Tonight Show host by way of viral video. Leno used his allotted 40 seconds wisely by pulling himself away from his beloved Duesenberg to halfheartedly riff about finding a new Tonight Show desk at Ikea, then answering the single question that has been plaguing America since we learned of his move.
Namely, will Leno revive his Cop N' Kitty sketches when he returns to 11:35 PM? The answer is a mumbled "Yeah, I know [they] sound stupid but I think [they're] pretty funny." Not really the enthusiasm the network was hoping for, but then again, the video was curiously designed for Jay Leno's old website at NBC and even he seems to realize that not many of his fans are checking that anymore.
