"I think it’s going to be a lot of fun because it’s not a show you can write jokes for and prepare for, and unlike The Tonight Show, this show is a little different," said Leno. "There’s no politics!"
Leno's co-host is Kevin Eubanks.
The half-hour show airing on FOX6 this fall preserves the show's notorious humorous interviews and banter with each contestant.
In the new FOX reboot, the game will couple two strangers for the opportunity to win prize money by correctly answering questions about pre-determined categories.
"It’s just comedy, no politics," said Leno. "We’re going to have headlines. We’re going to open the show with a few headlines every night because those are always funny."
Leno said he's excited to be doing what he loves best and amid the coronavirus pandemic, he's ready to bring some laughter to those watching.
"We come on Sept. 13," said Leno. "Give it a shot."
Leno is looking for contestants and viewers to submit headlines for the show.
