Jay Leno -- Tonight and Good Luck

Jay Leno bid his adieu to the "Tonight Show" last night, but he had trouble speaking over the applause.

Tonight ShowJay Leno


Jay gave Conan O'Brien a boost that Jay never never had when he started -- the stage on the predecessor's last show.

Jay's best joke -- when he started 17 years ago, his hair was black and the President was white.

47. people watched jay because they were too lazy to change the station after the 10 pm drsmas and the 11 o clock news. no one wants to see that crap at 10 pm.they are going to be too awake for sophomoric comedy from one of the worst head writers in tv history. jay works really hard to save every one of joe mederios' shlocky bits. but they still suck.

48. I guess I'm lame, but I like ALL of the late night people. Leno, Conan, Ferguson, Letterman, Kimmel, Stewart. I think they're all funny and entertaining.

49. IF CRAIG FERGUSON WAS ON EARLER, HE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO AND SAY THE THINGS, HE SAYS.
YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH ALOT MORE , EARLY IN THE MORNING.

ALSO, CRAIG IS VERY TALENTED, HE CAN AND HAS DONE ALMOST EVERYTHING.
DON'T SHORT CHANGE HIM.
HE IS THE BEST THING, THAT HAPPENED TO LATE NIGHT TV.

50. I know I sound old here but i'm only 37. Jay Leno Sucks and his jokes are corny and if I had to hear that suck band of his again i'll cry. He is so slapstick he should have had an old man doing rim shots for him after all of his jokes. What pained me the most was listening to him repeat the punch likes over and over again while the band played out every joke. His jokes were like a bad nightclub act. I have watched my Johnny Carson DVDs more than I have watched Jay. GOOD RIDDANCE

51. I've watched Jay Leno for all 17 years. Jay is a class act. He was the only late night personality I watched other than Johnny Carson. Jay is the best! I don't care for David Letterman or Conan O'Brien. I will be watching Jay at 10 this fall.
