Comedian Jay Leno followed in the footsteps of Johnny Carson, Jack Paar, and Steve Allen as the host on The Tonight Show and now, he’s following three more comedic legends. Leno is hosting a new revival of the You Bet Your Life TV series starting in Fall 2021.
A comedy quiz show that began on radio in 1947 with Groucho Marx as host, the program moved to television in 1950 and ran for 11 seasons. Short-lived syndicated revivals were hosted by Buddy Hackett (1980-81) and Bill Cosby (1992-93).
The newest incarnation of You Bet Your Life is expected to launch in syndication in Fall 2021 with 180 episodes.
