What’s Hot On TV Tonight - G’night Jay
It’s the changing of the guard tonight. Through my lifetime, I have known two Tonight Show hosts, Johnny Carson and Jay Leno. Tonight we say good night to Jay as he is ceremoniously pushed out in favor of the young’n, Conan O’Brien. It’s been a good week with lots of special guests and memories, including Mel Gibson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Billy Crystal, and tonight, Jay’s guest is his successor. I like both Jay and Conan, and liked the setup we had and don’t see why we had to change, but I’ll give it the old college try. But, why does NBC have to do this just a few months after we had to say goodbye to ER?
