Jimmy Fallon’s Musical Farewell Was Way Better Than Jay Leno’s

Over the weekend — and for the second time across his 22 years as host — Jay Leno bid farewell to The Tonight Show, before Jimmy Fallon takes over on February 17.

Leno cried all the way through his final monologue, and was bestowed an ambassadorship to Antarctica by President Obama, and an official ‘Jay Leno Day’ by the state of Los Angeles. He also invited back his first ever guest, Billy Crystal, who showed up with a moving company and a surprise musical studded with terrible jokes, a bunch of celebrities, and Sheryl Crow.

It was his successor’s final episode of Late Night, too, and Fallon had his own musical farewell — starring himself and The Muppets, covering The Band.

It’s heaps better than Leno’s. Mainly because of Beaker.
