Jay Leno Bids Farewell To The Tonight Show

After a 22 year run Jay Leno is no longer running the The Tonight Show. He will be replaced by the infamous Jimmy Fallon to continue the show's longtime success. Prior to Jay Leno, it was run by the one and only Johnny Carson. Mr. Carson held one of the greatest talk shows of all time, his personality and suave was arguebly unparalleled by many till Jay Leno came along. I am a huge fan of talk shows, especially Jay Leno's. He is known for being a fair guy when it comes to interviews, he just tries to have a nice conversation that gives us insight into the interviewee. In comparison to other talk shows, he is considered an easy going guy who isn't out to get you.
A lot of the time you will see people such as David Letterman who will say and do whatever not considering the feelings of who he's talking to just for entertainment value. Don't get me wrong, I love the Letterman show sometimes, but other times it seems as if he is a bit to insulting to the people he's talking to. Jay goes into his interviews with very little bias and tries to make is a fair conversation. Depending on who you are what you prefer, you may like David more based on his craziness or willingness to call you out on your BS.
All of these shows have there ups and downs, pros and cons, it just depends on what you like more. Jimmy Fallon will has some big shoes to fill but I feel he is up for the challenge. Hopefully I can make my way to his set to see him speak in person or at least watch it on NBC.
