Less than a year after signing off as host of "The Tonight Show," Jay
Leno returns to the late-night battlefield Monday, bruised and battered

Likewise, much is on the line for NBC. Executives are
praying that no long-term damage has been done to the network's iconic
late-night franchise, while hoping that the end of Leno in primetime
will clear the way for a much-needed ratings recovery.
There's

questions:

For the
first week of "Tonight 2.0," almost certainly. NBC has been promoting
Jay's return heavily during the Olympics. And Leno has booked a slew of
Olympic medalists for his first week of shows. Add in the rubbernecking
factor, and it's hard not to see Leno doing quite well his first week
back at 11:35 p.m.
