Watch A Sneak Peek

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. — August 7, 2019 — Take a joyride with Jay Leno on an all-new season of “Jay Leno’s Garage” returning on Wednesday, August 28 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. The series returns for its fifth season with eight new episodes featuring the legendary comedian and his fearless friends as they get behind the wheel of some of the most badass machines on the planet. Whether it’s a cult classic, an iconic ride or one of the most ridiculous vehicles ever made, Jay takes viewers on the ride of their lives. Special guests this season include John Travolta, Matt Damon, Martha Stewart, Billy Joel, Keith Urban, Avril Lavigne, Tim Allen, Jim Jefferies, Jeff Dunham, a rare appearance by Charlie Sheen, and comedian Kevin Hart who kicks off the season premiere alongside Jay on a near-deadly ride in one of the most outrageous off-road vehicles in the world.
Also in the season opener, Jay explores some of the world’s toughest vehicles. He puts Storm-chaser Reed Timmer’s “Dominator” stormproof vehicle to the test against a jet airplane; meets some off the toughest drivers in the world— injured veterans who use high-speed racing as rehabilitation; and pushes the world’s fastest armored car -- and himself -- to the limit. 

“Jay Leno’s Garage” takes fast and furious car fans for a high-octane spin across the country with a mix of stunts, reviews, celebrity interviews and challenges. As well as putting some of the world’s most amazing vehicles through their paces, Jay meets fellow car enthusiasts from whom he’ll discover the touching, hilarious and sometimes hard-to-believe stories that make these cars more than just rubber and metal. There’s no wheel Jay won’t get behind to tell the story of our love affair with the automobile.

“Jay Leno’s Garage” is produced by Original Productions, a Fremantle Company, and Kitten Kaboodle, with Jay Leno, Jeff Hasler, Jeff Bumgarner, Ernie Avila, Brian Lovett and Abby Schwarzwalder as executive producers. Christian Barcellos and Adam Barry are the executive producers for CNBC.

[via press release from CNBC] CNBC MEANS BUSINESS IN 2018
Expands Primetime Lineup with Three Greenlights, Three New Series and Seven New Projects in Development
CNBC in Primetime is the Fastest Growing Cable Entertainment Network Among Persons 25-54 Since Its Launch in 2013

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. & PASADENA, CA. - January 9, 2018 - CNBC continues to deliver a solid slate of original programming that speaks to the network's distinct brand filter. Since the launch of CNBC original unscripted programming, CNBC is the fastest-growing Cable Entertainment Network among Persons 25-54 in primetime with CNBC's audience moving younger and more affluent. CNBC had year-over-year viewership increases among all key demos and posted its best full-year C3 rating ever among Persons 18-34 in primetime. Coming off another solid year, CNBC today announced the network is growing its lineup in 2018 with a mix of new and returning series and seven development projects in the pipeline. New originals include "BYOB: Be Your Own Boss," "Staten Island Hustle" and "Deadly Rich." The network also announced the greenlight for a fourth season of "Jay Leno's Garage," currently airing original episodes on Thursdays at 10PM ET/PT, season twelve of "American Greed" and a seventh season of "Secret Lives of the Super Rich."
"It's an exciting time for CNBC as we build our primetime brand, grow our audience and draw in an even younger crowd," said Jim Ackerman, EVP, Primetime Alternative Programming, CNBC. "The world of business will always be a great backdrop for storytelling and we're committed to serving up more titles and characters that capture the entrepreneurial spirit in all of us."

New Series:
"BYOB: Be Your Own Boss" (Premieres Tuesday, February 27 at 10PM ET/PT)

"Staten Island Hustle" follows a group of animated, life-long friends and businessmen from Staten Island who've yet to come up with an idea or product too far-fetched for them to invest in.

Of course, it helps that somebody's always "got a guy" with the right connection or a good hook-up.

"Deadly Rich" (Summer 2018)
Produced for CNBC by Kurtis Productions with Mike West and Tania Lindsay as executive producers. Charles Schaeffer is the executive producer for CNBC.
The rich do everything differently. Even murder. When too much is never enough and the lust for wealth goes beyond all reason, killing becomes the ultimate power play. "Deadly Rich" from the producers of "American Greed" takes viewers inside these cases, navigating every evil twist and salacious turn to reveal the secrets and lies of the moneyed class. In their minds they are killers too rich to jail. And for the victims, money does not protect them, it makes them a target.

Produced for CNBC by Kurtis Productions with Mike West as executive producer. Charles Schaeffer is the executive producer for CNBC.

Reported by CNBC's Robert Frank, the series unlocks the mansion gates and scores you the ultimate VIP access to a world inhabited by the wealthiest people on the planet.

Produced by Original Productions, a FremantleMedia Company, and Kitten Kaboodle, with Jay Leno, Sarah Whalen, Jeff Bumgarner and Ernie Avila as executive producers. Abby Schwarzwalder serves as co-executive producer for the series. Jim Ackerman and Adam Barry are the executive producers for CNBC.

"Jay Leno's Garage" takes the fast and the furious car fan for a high-octane spin across the country with a mix of stunts, reviews, celebrity interviews and challenges. As well as putting some of the world's most amazing vehicles through their paces, Jay meets fellow car enthusiasts from who he'll discover the touching, hilarious and sometimes hard to believe stories that make these cars more than just rubber and metal. Whether it's performing a stunt with adrenaline junkie Travis Pastrana, going green with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger or taking a spin with a Mafia getaway driver, there's no wheel Jay won't get behind to tell the story of our love affair with the automobile.
