Jay Leno's Primetime debut

Well, what did you think?

I, as an employee of NBC and wkyc, hope the ratings are off the charts!

If Leno does well, it can only help our late news.

However, I hate relying solely on our lead-in shows.

It's great to put out a tremendous show and grab the viewers on our own and keep them coming back for more night after night. What satisfaction!

If you depend on the lead-in and it's not up to par, well enough said!


Regardless of if you watched or not and what you thought or not, Leno's debut proved to be quite a success with about 18 million viewers tuning in at 10:00 p.m.

Nielsen Media Research says "that's the biggest audience for a prime time television show since the 'American Idol' finale in May.

Leno said it himself, it's great having a fresh, live show each day because you can discuss the hot topics and news of the day.

Well, the news that day was how Kanye West snubbed and embarrassed Taylor Swift during the MTV Video Music Awards. And poof --Leno had Kanye West on the premier show. Great move.

My stats folks and fellow employees who track the ratings more than I tell me wkyc at 11pm had wonderful numbers. Hopefully those tuned in for the first Leno show liked what they saw at 11pm and will keep coming back for more!
