There's about to be a sense of déjà vu about late night television because Jay Leno has struck a deal with NBC to return to his old show and former time slot, as host of the Tonight Show.
Just seven months after he left his old gig to helm his prime time talk show, The Jay Leno Show, he's back, reports TMZ.
Jay's contract specified that he was guaranteed the 10pm hour, but by moving him back to 11.35pm, NBC breached his contract so they've negotiated a new deal for the late night veteran.
