Leno’s Last Late Night Laugh

The World

Tonight is the last night that Jay Leno will man the legendary Late Night desk. He is moving to prime time, with a live comedy show five nights a week at 10:00 p.m. Leno fans will be happy — and everybody else can read or get some extra sleep. What will you do with your late night?
