Jay Leno Jokes On Last Tonight Show

I watched Jay Leno's Tonight Show last night, and as usual, I laughed at his monologue.

I'm going to miss his nightly jokes on politics, popular culture and the news.

Below are some of his jokes on his last Tonight Show:

I don’t like goodbyes. NBC does.

Well, tonight is our last show for real. See, I don’t need to get fired three times. I get the hint.

You know, being together all these years, the staff is very close. It's kind of like graduating high school — a high school for really stupid people that have been in the same class for 22 years.

And the worst thing about losing this job, I'm no longer covered by NBC. I have to sign up for Obamacare.

When I started hosting, Justin Bieber wasn’t even born yet. That's why we call those “the good old days."

It was revealed this week that in the past couple years Hugh Grant has fathered three children with two different women. How ironic is that? I end my run the same way it began — asking Hugh Grant, "What the hell were you thinking?" Twenty-two years later, I ask him the same question.
