Jay Leno Books Jerry Seinfeld As First Guest On New Show. Also, Rappers Galore

According to Variety, Jay Leno has chosen well known comedian Jerry Seinfeld to be his first guest on “The Jay Leno Show,” premiering September 14.

Not only will Seinfeld be a guest, but he is also supposed to be doing some stand-up comedy. Interestingly enough, alongside Seinfeld for this first show will be Jay Z, Kanye West and Rihanna. I am not sure why they chose to have a comedian and three rappers for the premiere, but at least they got a few that are pretty talented.

For more information on the new show, visit www.thejaylenoshow.com.

After looking forward, with much enthusiasm, I was extremely disappointed with the selection of K.West (that un-talented group that produced only noise) and the dead-air time of the no-talk guest.
The rest of the new show was great, but that one segment ruined my expectations, including the guests I had over, watching with me. There really is talent out there you could have picked for your opening show, Jay. Maybe the next show. Don't lose us Jay.

I thought I was watching the Letterman show. I hope this isn't the trend that he is going to follow. I really wasn't impressed. I was expecting something different, but got a earlier version of the tonight show.
