LOS ANGELES (ASSOCIATED PRESS) — Jay Leno says he doesn't plan to tackle another late-night show after leaving NBC's "Tonight" next month.
In an interview with CBS' "60 Minutes" airing
Sunday, Leno said he can't re-create what he had as "Tonight" host with
another show. Leno said his 22-year run was "fantastic." The comedian
steps down as "Tonight" host on Feb. 6. Billy Crystal will join Leno for
his farewell broadcast in Burbank.
Jimmy Fallon takes over as host on Feb. 17 in the new home city for
"Tonight" — New York. Leno praised his successor, comparing him to a
young Johnny Carson. Asked if he'd prefer to stay with "Tonight," Leno
said that it's "nice to keep working," according to "60 Minutes."
