Jay Leno bids The Tonight Show farewell
May 30th 2009 06:12
Jay Leno said goodbye to The Tonight Show tonight (Friday, May 29, 2009) after 17 years as host. He graciously thanked everyone from his staff to his fans and wife for sticking with him all these years, and welcomed in the soon to be new host of the show, Conan O'brien. When asked what "legacy" he's leaving behind, his answer was to bring out all of his staff's children. The perfect answer from a well-loved host.
But have no fear, this is not the last we'll see of the king of late night. Jay may not be hosting The Tonight Show next year, but you'll still be able to catch him on NBC. That's right, starting next season, he'll be hosting a new show just an hour earlier than he's used to.
Of all the late night hosts I've grown up with, Jay Leno was my favorite, and I'd just like to say a big THANK YOU for 17 years of great TV! Congrats to Conan too, I can't wait to see what's in store for next year!
