Jerry Seinfeld named as Jay Leno’s first guest
NEW YORK — NBC says Jerry Seinfeld will be the first guest on the premiere of “The Jay Leno Show.”
Seinfeld will join previously announced musical guests Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West. The new weeknight prime-time series debuts Sept. 14.
Leno stepped down in May as host of the “Tonight Show” after 17 years.
Seinfeld, who starred in his own hit NBC comedy, will be returning to the network early next year with “The Marriage Ref,” a reality series that he’ll produce.
NBC is owned by General Electric Co

I like prime-time TV, it’s great. That was good when we got to see Seinfeld sent up the river at the end of his famous TV series. It’s pretty cool in the 2002 film Comedian when Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno discuss the Seinfeld stand-up comedy act. |
