Jay Leno's Got One Hell Of An Opening Show

Filed under: TV News > Jay Leno

Jay Leno is not screwing around.

He may have left the late night, but he still brings in the big names!

It's been confirmed that for his inaugural night, he will have a phenomenal musical guest list.

Slated to perform is none other than Jay-Z with Rihanna and Kanye West!!!

Wow!

His premiere on NBC is set for September 14th and we don't recommend missing it!

Petland Employee Drowns Rabbits
Wednesday, August 5: Elizabeth Carlisle, an employee at a Petland store in Akron, Ohio, posted a photo of herself grinning as she holds two dead, soaking-wet rabbits by the scruff of the neck—-rabbits she just drowned while on Petland's time clock. On Carlisle's Facebook page, she confirmed a friend's guess that she had drowned these two rabbits and wrote, "[T]he manager took the pic for me. [S]he reminded me that there were people outside as [I] was swearing at them to just hurry up and die but then she was so kind as to take this picture." These horrific deaths followed what was apparently an equally horrifying life for these rabbits. Other comments Carlisle posted made it clear that the rabbits were drowned after sustaining agonizing injuries when they were allowed to "attack and eat each other." The rabbits suffered from "deep wounds all over," "an eye missing," what Petland staff "suspected was a broken jaw," and paralysis from the waist down—injuries that would not have occurred had these animals been provided with proper care and supervision.

You think this is a great guest list ? It sucks. Is he gonna be on NBC or BET ?
Looks like he's going for the ghetto crowd.

I wish he would book some real talent.

He is so mainstream! Always bringing "hip" guests, but it worked for him before so I'm guessing it will be the same this time. I prefer quirkier guests like Conan and Letterman and Furgeson have though.

Perez, Jay-Z with Rihanna and Kanye West are phenomenal guests to you? Really? If he really wanted big stars who would've had Paul McCartney or Whitney Houston. Those performers don't excite me at all.
