The Tonight Show's retiring (well, not entirely retiring) host, Jay Leno has been released from hospital after checking himself in after experiencing some symptoms of illness last Thursday. Before missing the two shows the 58 year old comedian hadn't missed a single day of work since taking the reins way back in 1992, but better safe than sorry. Big Jay had felt a degree of sickness that made him seek medical help. The details about Leno's apparent illness were kept tightly under wraps, but you can expect to see Leno behind the desk come Monday night's Tonight Show telecast.
Conan O'Brien is slated to take over The Tonight Show on June 1st when Leno steps down after 17 years as host. "Jay Leno is anxious to return to work on Monday" according to Leno's spokesman. He was kept overnight more as "a precautionary measure", and the Internet speculation that Leno had suffered a heart attack was also dismissed as untrue. Another report of possible food poisoning was also shot down. Leno is also scheduled to start working on his new show, which will air at 10pm starting this September.
