[Best Syndication News] It's only a month away when NBC will premiere “The Jay Leno Show.” NBC is taking there chances by putting this show on five nights per week at the time slot of 10 p.m. Joan River was asked about her new show, but instead layed into Jay Leno's new show.

Jay Leno told media outlets at the NBC Television Critics Association press day his show isn't going to be all about celebrity interviews and isn't going to be a variety show, but will be focused more on comedy. The show will premiere on September 14th.

Leno's guest will include comics and and some celebrities. Leno said that there will be no more than two celebrities on the show and that there will be no desk for him to sit behind. Leno told the press that he has lost 12 pounds to get ready for the show. Leno also will be keeping his classic Jaywalking and Headlines joke time that he used to do on “The Tonight Show.”

Comedian Joan Rivers was reported to have slammed Jay Leno's new show. Rivers told Monster & Critics that "I...Think it's brilliant that they put Leno on at 10:00 now because Americans get bored more easily and go to sleep earlier, and that will, that's all I have to say about that. When was the last time you said, 'Did you hea what Leno said last night? PAUSE...ahh..Never. So it's nice for the Midwest because the crops will be greener."

But then again, Rivers used to fill in on “The Tonight Show” often for Johnny Carson and might be a bit bitter that she didn't get hired as the replacement host when Carson retired.

Hopefully Jay Leno's new primetime show will be a hit and will not bomb. It does give the other networks a chance to place shows in this time slot that will pull viewers away.
