    Well The Jay Leno Show sure started with a bang last night.  Aside from the news made by the Kanye West interview, the show debuted with an estimate 18.4 million viewers.  That’s pretty great, even for a show airing at 10 PM.

    The other news is the show assisted The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, in a way.  You see, Conan’s audience was up 22% last night, to 4.3 million.  However, the audience that increased the most was the over 55 crowd, which was up by 51%.  The audience that Conan most craves, the 18-34 range, was actually down by 5%.  Dang.

    I thought The Jay Leno Show was okay.  It was enjoyable enough I suppose but nothing to write home about.  Also, we’ll have to wait awhile before we know if the show is an actual hit.  As for Conan, just keep on doing what you’re doing!  The Tonight Show is way better under you and the audience will find you eventually.  As for your true fans, like myself, we’ll loyal and will stick with you.
