Jay Leno has concluded his run as host of “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” by delivering the show's biggest overall audience in more than 15 years, since May 1998.
Jay Leno ended his run on The Tonight Show last night. After 22 years, he is stepping down and handing the show over to Jimmy Fallon. Talking about his successor, Leno said, “It's fun to kind of be the old guy and sit back here and see where the next generation takes this great institution. More gamely than convincingly, but it really is time to go and hand it off to the next guy, it really is.” His last show featured Billy Crystal, the first guest he had on his show in 1992, and music by Garth Brooks. He had cameos from celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Carol Burnett and Kim Kardashian and President Obama even paid his respects in a taped message. Leno ended the show quoting Johnny Carson's words, “I bid you all a heartfelt goodnight.”
Jay Leno's final telecast hosting “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” has delivered the show's highest overnight rating in nearly five years, since March 2009.
