Jay Leno leaves 'The Tonight Show', Conan O'Brian steps in

**Valigarmander** · 05-29-2009, 07:35 PM

After hosting the show for 17 years, Jay Leno is stepping down from his position as host of The Tonight Show, and Conan O'Brian is taking his place. Leno's final Tonight Show appearance is scheduled for tonight (Friday, the 29th), and O'Brian's first will be Monday night (the 1st).

As Conan takes over the Tonight Show, Jay is going to start his own primetime talk show this fall. And as Conan has left Late Night, that show was taken over by Jimmy Fallon (ugh) back in March.

Thoughts? Will Conan make a good Tonight Show host? Will he be better than Leno? Worse? Share your thoughts.

Now I don't have to choose between Conan and Craig Ferguson anymore!

^ Don't feel bad. I told myself I was going to stay up and watch both Leno's last and Conan's first, but I got too tired and said "Screw it."

I'm getting too old...
