A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

FROM BEAUTIFUL BURBANK: Tonight marks the end of the run of The Tonight Show With Jay Leno, with lead guest Conan O'Brien. It's interesting, because when Carson left the show, there was huge hype for it, while this time, I've seen almost nothing for "Jay's Final Show" and tons of ads for "Try Conan!" In part, this is, of course, a function of that unlike Carson, Jay (unfortunately) won't be fading from view after this, with his 10 PM show on NBC premiering in the fall. In part, it's also that despite having occupied the most famous and powerful desk in late night for 17 years, there's nothing terribly memorable about the run. The only things I can think of off the top of my head are Hugh Grant's "sorry about that!" appearance after the Divine Brown Incident, and the incredibly hackneyed comedy bits (Jaywalking! Headlines!). Do you have memories (fond or unfond) of Jay? And are you ready for Conan, Andy Richter, and Max Weinberg and the Tonight Show Band to take the seats once occupied by Carson, Ed McMahon, and Doc Severinsen?
