This episode aired one day after NBC announced that The Jay Leno Show (2009) was being dropped from the prime-time schedule once the 2010 Winter Olympics began on February 12; the network proposed that the show be shortened to a half-hour and moved to the 11:35/10:35c timeslot which Leno had occupied as the previous host of "The Tonight Show" from 1992 to May 2009, with "The Tonight Show" pushed back a half-hour.
