NEW YORK — NBC says “The Jay Leno Show” will premiere Sept. 14.

The new prime-time hour starring Leno will air weeknights at 10 o’clock Eastern. It’s the first talk-entertainment show to be scheduled by a broadcast network to run five nights a week in prime time.

Leno’s 17-year run on “The Tonight Show” ended last week, with Conan O’Brien taking over Monday as “Tonight” host.
