This is Leno's final week after 22 years as The Tonight Show host.

I thought he started slow but really came into his own mid-way and did a really good job overall following a legend. Thoughts on his tenure?

I'll believe it the moment he croaks.

Tons of backstabbing, being completely unoriginal, and a bad suck-up interviewer. Yeah, I know the Hugh Grant story, but what all controversial thing has he done since then?

One of the all time greats. He could stay the host of the Tonight Show for another 10 years and still be at the top of the ratings.

It wasn't Leno's fault "Team Coco" didn't watch the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien forcing NBC to bring Jay back.

Funny only to the simpleminded

Creatively bankrupt

Inane meaningless interviews

Funny thing is that Conan was getting higher ratings in early 2010 than Leno is now.

I don't really care either way. I don't dislike him for what he did to Conan, but he's been beating a dead hoarse for as long as I can remember, with the same old tired skits and interview tactics.

At least Leno is better than Fallon.


Oh hey iPod, didn't see you there.

Wow, pretty strong negative posts initially.

Regarding Conan, Jay has said he was simply told, "you're out" after many years of being #1. Then, they ask him to come back after Conan was not doing well at all. Very awkward of course, but I can't say I wouldn't have done the same in his position. And then Jay resumed the #1 spot pretty quickly.

And again, he's replacing arguably the best talk show host ever in Carson. I thought he did an admirable job under the circumstances.

Aside from Hugh Grant, name a great interview he did.

I remember him mostly for is constant, distasteful mockery of the OJ trial.

Leno didn't have that great of ratings early on but NBC cut him some slack. Why didn't they do the same with Conan? Also, could Leno do a show without a Bill Clinton or OJ joke?
