You can catch Leno’s final thoughts (and thank you’s) on the clip above, or watch his entire last episode below…
The 29th marked the last time in TV history that Jay Leno would host The Tonight Show. Although NBC is giving him a primetime slot at 10pm to host another talk show, we fans know it just won’t be the same.
Since Conan O’Brien takes over the show on Monday, it only makes sense that he would be the final guest. If you’ve ever seen “Late Night,” you know he’ll follow the footsteps of likable hosts Steve Allen, Johnny Carson, and Jay Leno with ease.
