It was sad -- Jay Leno's 22 years hosting The Tonight Show ended with all the excitement of a guy farting at the mall. We all talked about his joke stealing and his talk-show stealing and how he'd played to the middle, threw away his talent.
We were happy to see him go back to his garage and all his cars, to make way for Fallon, for his dancing to hip-hop.
Jay Leno must be lonely. What has Jay Leno been doing the last couple weeks?
