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.

Leno Takes His Swings at Michael Richards

Jay LenoA day after Michael Richards apologized on "The Late Show with David Letterman," Jay Leno took to "The Tonight Show" stage and delivered a few zingers at the expense of the man we know as "Kramer."

"I had a horrible gig last night," Leno began. "I had to follow Michael Richards at The Laugh Factory."

But Leno didn't stop there. He continued, "As you know, Michael Richards said some very offensive things at a comedy club the other night in Hollywood. People were booing, yelling, some got up and walked out. Of course, people waiting outside for the second show had no idea what was going on. They just assumed Carrot Top was on stage."

Check out Leno's jokes for yourself on tonight's episode of "The Tonight Show."

K-Fed Goes "Ghetto" on Leno

Where do you go as an emerging rap artist when you want to garner some serious street cred? Playa, everyone knows you've just got to do ... Leno.

Which is exactly what K-Fed did (or thought he was doing) last night when he performed on "The Tonight Show" to promote his upcoming world tour, which kicks off November 4th in New York. Hitting outlets like Leno and the Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards, K-Fed is clearly going straight to the streets with his new album. And, of course, with lyrics like "Kicks on my feet/That you ain't never seen/Lights on my wrist/Stones in my ears/$2 million I brought in the new year" and "I'm rich but I hustle like I'm broke/Never knowing what the pancake man gonna flip," K-Fed is without a doubt the hardscrabble ghetto poet of the new millennium.

We can't wait until the tour is in full swing and we can all revel in his greatness.
