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 from the spectacular failure of his prime-time show and the collateral damage caused by NBC's controversial decision to dump Conan O'Brien.
Plenty is at stake for Leno, who no doubt wants to quickly rebuild his rep as Mr. Nice Guy and reclaim his status as America's first choice in late night.
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 plenty to ponder. Let's start with the five biggest unanswered questions:
Will Jay regain his ratings crown?
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.
