Jay Leno ends his 17 year run on the Tonight Show this evening.
He’s got a surprise planned, so be sure to tune in.
Update: Here are some highlights from his monologue.
As you know, this is our last show after 17 years. I want to thank all the people that made it possible – Michael Jackson, Monica Lewinsky, Bill Clinton …
As you know, President Obama was here in Los Angeles this week to bring his message of change to Hollywood, and really, there's no place in America that loves change more than Hollywood, the place that brought you four TERMINATOR sequels, ten POLICE ACADEMY movies and 29 STAR TREK films. This town runs on new and innovative ideas, doesn't it folks?
James Taylor does a sentimental performance of Sweet Baby James. Nice touch.
Update: Best show ending in ages. Leno names all the staff on the show who married each other and says he wonders how many kids were born to these couples during the 17 years. A curtain opens, and there are 68 kids, all born to parents who met each other wile working on the show.
