Default Vette fan Leno ends his run as a total class act.

I just thought I'd throw that thought out there...he is a great Vette guy and supporter and I know he'll do great this fall!

Jay's the guy and glad he's on our side. Like Conan said . . . "big shoes to fill"! As far as the new "Tonight" show goes, we'll see.

I like the fact that J is a car guy He speaks like a car guy, is passionate about what ever he's doing and is always willing to listen to others, that is priceless, my opinion, "Class act" Good luck on the new venture! I hope to visit the BIG Dogs Garage someday, Salt

I hope that Jay kicks butt in his 10 o'clock time slot. I can't stand Conan. I hate the fact that Jay is being moved off the tonight show. Despite being hugely successful he is a great person. All this just because someone penned down five years ago that it would be a five year run and then they would move Conan in....Conan is horrible.

I don't watch Leno religiously but I made a point to watch his last Tonight Show. I thought he did an excellent job wrapping the program after 17 years. I like Leno a lot but Carson still is the late night champ in my books.

I tend to agree. I don't what it is but there's just something about Conan that rubs me the wrong way.

I guess it could have been interpreted that way!

I agree, Conan is terrible. When Conan fails NBC will give The Tonight Show back to Jay.

100%

Just means I go to bed earlier . . Letterman's too acerbic , OBrien's just annoying. There's only so much Speed Channel you can watch !

Yes, he did! It is surprising, as he said, how many have been there the whole time, 17 years. And how many started out not really in the biz. A true testimonial to a great guy. And it just so happens he's an unequaled "car guy."

He seems to be a regular guy you would sit down and have some beers with and talk cars or whatever. Would love to take a walk around his garage.

Default Well...

Jay has always been FUNNY .... some cheap comedians are only funny when they swear... if the swear word is the punch line,... there is no joke. He left as a total CLASS ACT... 68 kids born to his staff in 17 years, and he put them on stage... hats off to him... and I will watch at 10:00 in the fall.
