Jay Leno - The Stig

Former Tonight Show host Jay Leno has revealed some tidbits about his new primetime show scheduled to debut later this fall. Taking a page for Top Gear, the show will features a segment called “Green Car Challenge” that will put celebrities against each other in alternative fuel cars.

You can see who is faster, Shaquille O’Neal or Cameron Diaz,” Leno said.

The report by Live Feed says that NBC has built a test track outside the studio for the segment of the new show. What’s the overall theme of the new show? We’ll find out later this fall.

    Why alternative fuel? Are they trying to appear “green”? Who the hell wants to race in a prius? Pathetic.

    totally agree…and can Shaq even fit in a prius?

    Racing in a green car is more politically correct?

    I agree. Racing in a green car is the antithesis of what the car is supposed to represent.

    Oh, I get it – it's humor.

    On a second point, this is so Top Gear's gag and it would appear that Jay Leno is stealing yet another idea. Is there an original idea on any of Jay Leno's shows?

    The “overall theme” of Jay Leno's new show is “Jay likes money.” I thought that was pretty obvious.
