In the program, Leno -- who owns more than 250 cars himself -- will travel the country in search of interesting cars and collectors. The 8 part series will also feature actors Keanu Reeves, Tim Allen, Laurence Fishburne, and more.

"CNBC continues to invest in original programming as it establishes the network as a primetime entertainment destination — and who better to invest in than the king of late night?," CNBC Senior Vice President Jim Ackerman said in a statement.

The series is not only great for CNBC. For Leno, the program will combine his two passions: television and cars.
