Jay Leno is returning to television. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the former host of NBC's "Tonight Show" nears a deal to host a new show for cable network CNBC. No release date has been announced, but it will air on primetime and focus on his love of cars.

Though he has been quiet about his plan to return to TV, Leno is not showing any sign of slowing down since leaving the late-night slot and was replaced by Jimmy Fallon. The car enthusiast continues his work as a standup comedian and hosts his web series, "Jay Leno's Garage".

The online show is hosted by NBC.com, but a special episode over the Labor Day weekend called "Jay's Garage: The Ultimate Car Week" was broadcast by CNBC.
