Jay Leno Will Return to The Tonight Show This Week

Longtime Tonight Show host Jay Leno is making his first return to the show this week ever since he stepped aside in February. (And for those of you who remember the last time Leno “returned” to the show and how well that turned out, don’t worry, it’s just as a guest this time.)

The Tonight Show website lists Leno as the first guest on Friday’s show. Leno left on good terms with Jimmy Fallon, and has repeatedly praised his successor as a great host.

Leno will be returning to the NBC family for good, though, with a new CNBC show all about his favorite hobby: cars.
