Since then, the show has been nominated for an Emmy ten times, winning twice in 1996 and 1997. Leno follows a format similar to that of Carson, opening with a twenty minute monologue that puts a humorous twist on the events of the day all over the world. As of recent, this has obviously included a fair share of presidential punch lines and impotence jokes, but on a whole he keeps it in good taste. While the humor is geared for more mature audiences, that is not much of a problem since the show does not air until eleven thirty-five Eastern Standard Time. Between the monologue and the guest interviews, Jay dedicates about ten minutes to random skits.
Some nights are the same.
For instance every Monday he does Headlines, a collection of comical, pointless, or bizarre advertisements and publications sent in from viewers. This is one of his most popular skits, as well as Iron Jay and Jay walking. Other random skits are usually on major news stories or events. On the other hand, the regularly scheduled skits more than compensate. The second half of the show is dedicated to guest interviews.
