CNBC drives on with Leno

US business news channel CNBC has extended its motoring show starring Jay Leno into a second season.

Jay Leno’s Garage as been renewed for a second season

Jay Leno’s Garage, which is hosted by the comedian and chatshow host, explores all things automotive, including classic cars, supercars, road tests, investments and the inner workings of the car collectors’ market.

The second run’s 12 one-hour episodes will air in the spring of 2016 and come after the show last night wrapped its first season, which CNBC claims was the most-watched freshman season in its history.

It is produced by FremantleMedia’s Original Productions and Kitten Kaboodle, with Leno, Philip David Segal and Jeff Bumgarner as executive producers.
