Seinfelds comedians in cars with Jay and Dave were just that. They were great.
You know, I've never watched an episode. Maybe I'll have to go check it out.
And it was awesome seeing Carol Burnett come out.
He had Carrot Top yesterday. Can't get bigger than that.
I think he's touring this year. It's been awhile for sure though.

He's had residency in Vegas the past 4 or so years. He recently had a special on prime time when the Vegas run was over.
I wouldn't go with Garth, but maybe Jay is a big fan. That's boomer music right there.
They just ran an ad of all the Tonight Show hosts in history and I gotta admit, it's pretty awesome seeing Conan on there. Even though it was short lived, nobody can take that from Conan as long as he lives.

I am not a fan of Leno, but I give him respect for his final goodbye speech and his sincerity!
having said that... I can't wait for Fallon to take over.

Good night to the king of late night.

Really heartfelt and a downer of a speech from Jay.
Welp, Jimmy's on. Time to turn off the tv.

Hah, Letterman just said "Goodnight Jay!" as his show ended.

I've found the only people that don't like Jimmy are people who won't give him a chance, or are basing his hosting on the first few weeks.

I agree. He's actually pretty good. I like his energy too.
The problem is he's not a stand-up comic and he's terrible at interviews. It also doesn't help that he's up against someone (Ferguson) who excels with interacting with the crowd and talking with guests.
What a perfect gif.
I remember during the writer's strike and Jay was the only one writing the jokes, the Tonight Show was actually pretty funny.

Not as appropriate here as it was in the original thread, but still
It's weird. All these other comedians would always talk about how funny he was/is, and I'm like "really?". After watching that, I now get it.

Fallon's interaction with Higgins and the Roots makes the show. I enjoy his interviews way more than Jay's scripted interview. Fallon's skits/bits/games are so much better than Headlines or Jaywalking. And he has the best band in Late Night!
I've seen his earlier shows, and more recent ones. Zero improvement.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing what will Seth do with the show

I've watched Fallon's show beyond its first year and my opinion hasn't changed; He's a terrible interviewer with the vocabulary of a teenager who fakes interest in most pop culture unless it's reality TV and routinely breaks out laughing as soon as something becomes slightly funny, effectively preventing that something from becoming anything more than slightly funny.
Seems like a nice guy though.
