Tonight’s premiere of The Jay Leno Show has been touted as everything from a watershed moment in late night television to NBC’s “crucial gamble.”

But viewers will most likely get a sense of déjà vu from the monologue, the A-list guests, the Leno Show band, and everything else.
So what’s all the hubbub? Find out.
