Television host Jay Leno has won control of a Web address using the name of his new show.

The U.N.'s World Intellectual Property Organization says current owner Guadalupe Zambrano of Katy, Texas, will have to transfer the domain name — thejaylenoshow.com — to the comedian.

The agency says Zambrano failed to demonstrate he had a legitimate reason for registering the address five years ago. Zambrano used the site to redirect Web surfers to his real estate business.
