Jay Leno Gets Ready for Prime Time

snip

Creating “The Jay Leno Show” helped the struggling network hang onto Mr. Leno after it replaced him as host of “The Tonight Show” with Conan O’Brien this past June. “The Jay Leno Show” also cuts costs. Prime-time dramas typically average about $3 million to make an episode or $15 million a week to fill the 10 p.m slot. A live entertainment show like Mr. Leno’s could cost as little as $2 million a week, according to industry estimates. NBC declined to discuss exact figures.
