Jay Leno’s Last Show
Jay Leno had his last show Friday night, turning over the show to Conan O’Brien.
Jay Leno took over “The Tonight Show” back in 1992 from Johnny Carson. And now after 3800 shows, Leno passes the Tonight Show on to Conan O’Brien.
Leno, 58, thanks everyone that helped make the show No. 1. Jay’s eyes filled with tears although he was still smiling.
Thankfully, Leno will remain with NBC and be hosting a new primetime show at 10 p.m. weekdays.
Leno’s show finale opened with a standing ovation from the audience and a monologue targeting politicians and other favorites.
“Seventeen years,” he began. “I want to thank all the people who made it possible. Michael Jackson, Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton. We could not have done this show without them.”
