Jay Leno says he’d return to ’Tonight’ if NBC asked

NEW YORK — Jay Leno’s plugging away in prime time, but he still says he would have rather stayed put at "The Tonight Show" — and if NBC offered him that late-night job again, he says he’d take it.

In an interview with Broadcasting & Cable magazine, Leno hastily adds that such a decision isn’t his to make. Conan O’Brien, his successor as "Tonight" host after 17 years, is "doing fine," says Leno.
