Jay Leno : 15 Years of 'Tonight'

jay leno

Tomorrow, Jay Leno celebrates 15 years with 'The Tonight Show'.
For this occasion, Leno is planning a few surprises for tomorrow night!
Leno has worked so hard for the past 15 years to make his own print on the show ... but he knows that not far from tomorrow, he will surrender his seat to the next guy ... most probably Conan O'Brien.
It seems Jay Leno will give his final show in 2009 ... that's a long way since 1987! Through-out these 15 years, Leno changed a few things in the show, which made it more fun & more interesting; a monologue that's doubled in size to about 11 minutes, more comedy bits and skits, and less time for interviews.

This has paid off for Leno; the avarage audience on every show is 5.8 million viewers! Which tops The Late show with David Letterman by 1.6 million!
So, why should Leno leave so soon? He says: "I'm not a big numbers guy. Conan [O'Brian] is sort of waiting in the wings for his thing. How long do you expect people to wait in the wings?"

    Jay Leno is a dirty old man. He's gotten so raunchy he thinks it makes him COOL! Maybe the public isn't as stoopid and depraved as he thinks he has to be to appeal to us.

    OR maybe we are! Yuck.
