  • Jay Leno’s Garage Gets Canceled After Seven Seasons, Ending Leno’s 30-Year Run on NBC

Jay Leno’s Garage has been canceled two months after the funnyman suffered burn injuries while working in the garage featured in the show.

It’s the end of an era at NBC with Jay Leno poised to leave the network. The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that the comedian’s reality show Jay Leno’s Garage has been canceled with its seventh season, which concluded in 2022, now serving as the final season of the show. As the series launched in 2014 when Leno had also exited The Tonight Show for good, the funnyman has maintained a presence on NBC programming since 1992 when he became the host of the late night talk show.

Spawning as a web-series and TV special before getting ordered to series at NBC, Jay Leno’s Garage features Leno highlighting many unique and interesting vehicles, from iconic cars seen in famous movies to restored vintage and sports cars. During its run, which resulted in the series winning a Primetime Emmy Award, fans were treated to seeing notable vehicles like Christian Bale’s Batmobile, the Back to the Future DeLorean, and even KITT from Knight Rider.

Many celebrity guests were also brought in to check out vehicles with Leno, with past episodes including some big names like Keanu Reeves, Tim Allen, Francis Ford Coppola, Joe Biden, George W. Bush, Jamie Foxx, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Charlie Sheen, Martha Stewart, Kelly Clarkson, Jamie Lee Curtis, and many more. The show also featured Norm Macdonald in his final TV appearance before his passing in 2021.

News of the show getting axed comes just over two months after Leno suffered burn injuries while working on a vehicle in his garage. Because of a freak accident, Leno was burned on his face, chest, and hands after getting sprayed by fuel. He has since recovered and has been performing stand-up comedy on stage, already getting back to work even with no apparent plans to make any more episodes of his TV show.

Jay Leno Ends His Run on NBC

NBC Universal

Leno’s run as Tonight Show host was marred by controversy. He exited The Tonight Show to let Conan O’Brien take over in 2009, hosting his own separate talk show called The Jay Leno Show in an earlier time slot. Ratings proceeded to fall, and before long, Leno was back at The Tonight Show while O’Brien left the network to launch Conan at TBS. Leno would remain as host of The Tonight Show upon returning in 2010 until 2014 when Jimmy Fallon would succeed him.

In the day and age of streaming, it’s always possible Jay Leno’s Garage could find a new home on Peacock, which could theoretically keep the NBCUniversal relationship going for a bit longer. Past episodes of the show’s first six seasons are already available on the streaming service.
