by <a href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a> from September 14, 2009 to February 9, 2010. The series was a spiritual successor to his previous <a href="/wiki/Late-night_talk_show" title="Late-night talk show">late-night talk show</a> <i><a href="/wiki/The_Tonight_Show_with_Jay_Leno" title="The Tonight Show with Jay Leno">The Tonight Show with Jay Leno</a></i>, and used a similar format consisting of a comedic <a href="/wiki/Monologue" title="Monologue">monologue</a>, followed by celebrity interviews and other comedy segments. </p><p>The program was the result of a compromise by <a href="/wiki/NBC_Universal" class="mw-redirect" title="NBC Universal">NBC Universal</a>'s then-CEO <a href="/wiki/Jeff_Zucker" title="Jeff Zucker">Jeff Zucker</a> to keep Leno with the network following his retirement from <i><a href="/wiki/The_Tonight_Show" title="The Tonight Show">The Tonight Show</a></i> and <a href="/wiki/The_Tonight_Show_with_Conan_O%27Brien" title="The Tonight Show with Conan O&#39;Brien">succession</a> by <a href="/wiki/Conan_O%27Brien" title="Conan O&#39;Brien">Conan O'Brien</a>. NBC hoped to attract Leno's existing fans, as well as a larger <a href="/wiki/Prime_time" title="Prime time">prime time</a> audience: the network believed that <i>The Jay Leno Show</i> would not necessarily require high <a href="/wiki/Audience_measurement" title="Audience measurement">viewership</a> to be profitable, due to its lower production costs in comparison to scripted <a href="/wiki/Drama_(film_and_television)" title="Drama (film and television)">dramas</a>. </p><p><i>The Jay Leno Show</i> was met with mixed reception from critics, who felt that the series had little differentiation from Leno's <i>Tonight Show</i>.
