SHORT TAKES : Years More for Letterman, Leno
Night-owl TV fans who tune in talk show host David Letterman and fill-in funnyman Jay Leno have years to enjoy more wise-cracking monologues, witty interviews and stupid pet tricks.
NBC said today it has signed Letterman and Leno to new multiyear contracts.
“Late Night With David Letterman” debuted in 1982. Showcasing humorous pet antics is one of many recurring features on the show.
In 1987, Leno succeeded Joan Rivers as the sole guest host of “the Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and will continue in that capacity.
Their new contracts were announced at the annual NBC affiliates convention in Washington. No further details of the contracts were disclosed.
