Jay Leno Books Conan O'Brien as His Last Tonight Show Guest

Jay Leno is bringing his show to a close in a unique way: by having his replacement on as his last guest. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jay Leno has booked Conan O'Brien has his last guest ever on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

O'Brien will appear on the Friday, May 29 episode, before O'Brien takes over the show with The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien on Monday, June 1. Leno has a big line-up set already for the last week of his 17-year run, with other guest including Mel Gibson, Prince and Billy Crystal, who brings Leno's show full-circle, as he was Leno's first guest after taking over from Johnny Carson.

Leno will debut his new primetime talk-show on NBC this fall, taking over the 10 PM ET primetime hour.

    sly, Billy Crystal was the second to the last guest, so it came full circle. Conan was being handed the reigns to the show so it made sense to me. I gotta go find this on the Net and watch it since I missed it... l8r

    Jay Leno's show was never as good as Carson's. it felt a lot different. not cuz of leno himself, but just the style of it. and it woulda been a lot better to NOT have conan be the final gues. really? that's the best they could come up with? oh well. It does NOT come full circle if crystal is NOT the FINAL guest.
