Desperate to do anything to improve the ratings, producers of NBC’s The Jay Leno Show are switching up the format.

Instead of putting such segments as Jay Walking and Headlines at the end of the show to lead into the news, Leno’s show will now have them following the monologue, which will more closely follow The Tonight Show template.

On Monday, according to Broadcasting & Cable, after his monologue and a commercial break, Leno came back with Headlines, followed by another commercial break, followed by Kathy Griffin. Writer Alex Weprin remarked that the show’s first half-hour was nearly identical to that of The Tonight Show.

That said, some of Leno’s new bits remained in the second half. Griffin took “The Green Car Challenge”, for example, while another comedy bit followed a guest spot by Diablo Cody.

According to Weprin, the ratings continue to be a problem. Leno drew a 1.2/3 share, according to Nielsen.
