In less than one month, Jay Leno will formally pass the iconic “The Tonight Show” torch to new host Jimmy Fallon.
Along the way, he will welcome some intriguing, high-profile interviewees and musical performers. One of those will be the always buzzworthy Miley Cyrus.
NBC announced Friday that Cyrus will be appearing on the January 30 edition of Leno’s “Tonight Show.”
