Headlines (Jay Leno)
Headlines was a segment that aired weekly on ''The Tonight Show with Jay Leno''. It also aired on the prime-time spin-off ''The Jay Leno Show''. The segment usually aired on Monday nights. It was first seen in 1987, when Leno was still a guest host on ''The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson'', and continued (even after Leno became permanent host in 1992) until Jay Leno left ''The Tonight Show'' in 2014. This segment reappeared on TV as part of a new version of the game show ''You Bet Your Life'' hosted by Leno beginning in 2021. Viewers submitted newspaper headlines or other articles from all over the world, and the clippings contain either (but not limited to) a misspelled word, juxtaposed image or badly structured sentences that comically (and often in an unintentionally risqué way) completely change the meaning of what the writer intended.

Leno Headlines
James Douglas Muir Leno (; born April 28, 1950) is an American television host, comedian, writer, and actor. After doing stand-up comedy for years, he became the host of NBC's ''The Tonight Show'' from 1992 to 2009.

He hosted his last episode of this second tenure on February 6, 2014. That year, he was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame.

2010 Tonight Show Conflict
The 2010 ''Tonight Show'' conflict was a media and public relations conflict involving the American television network NBC and two of its late-night talk show hosts, Conan O'Brien and Jay Leno, over the timeslot and hosting duties of long-running franchise ''The Tonight Show''. Leno, the host of ''The Tonight Show'' since 1992, and O'Brien, host of '' Late Night'' since 1993, were strong ratings leaders for NBC for much of the decade.

The network neglected to tell Leno about this arrangement until 2004, when they informed him that O'Brien would take over as host in five years. When that time arrived, in 2009, NBC tried to keep both of its late-night stars by offering Leno a nightly primetime show before the local news and O'Brien's ''Tonight Show''.
