Jay-Z will join Kanye West and Rihanna as performers when Leno launches his new show on September 14.

On the final episode of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” the host reminded viewers not to get too teary-eyed during his last stint behind the desk he has occupied for 17-years by reminding them that he would be back on NBC this fall with his new venture “The Jay Leno Show” (Monday – Friday, 9:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. on NBC).

“The Jay Leno Show” will be the first-ever entertainment program to be stripped across primetime on broadcast network television and will showcase many of the features that have made Leno America’s late-night leader for more than a dozen years.
