"We're not really leaving," Jay Leno told the studio audience on his last Tonight Show. And he was right. So how do you throw yourself a goodbye when you're not going anywhere? TV has a history of lugubrious farewells for longtime personalities, and while Jay Leno may not have stuck around as long as Johnny Carson, at 17 years, he's been there long enough to earn such a send-off.
The problem is, of course, that Jay is going to be back on NBC in three months, nightly, at 10 p.m. E.T. every weeknight. He's like the high-school big man on campus who's graduating, but will be enrolling in the local community college next fall.
