I don't know if it's been mentioned or if it is even worth mentioning, but I've noticed that it was The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and it will now be The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon. Any idea why the change?
Yeah. Leno asked to have it say "with" because he thought it was humbler or quieter or something. Fallon wanted it to say "starring." It's a distinction I don't think a lot of people noticed. In fact, when Johnny was "starring" on the show and later when Jay was "with" the show, NBC sometimes got it wrong in press releases and tickets and such. Conan O'Brien used "with."
