For this evening's final episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the host has promised a special episode. James Taylor is set to be the last musical act and Leno's successor, Conan O'Brien, will be his final guest.
There will also be something that's billed as "The Extreme Tonight Show Montage." Leno teased reporters last week that, "I have something really unusual and different planned -- something really out of left field that we're going to end on."
While we wait to see the last episode, it's hard not to recall how Leno's legendary predecessor, Johnny Carson, finished his run 17 years ago this month.
Carson had been considering retirement for some time, so long in fact that, when the announcement came in 1991, viewers were stunned. The final several weeks of shows were very special as guests and old friends stopped by to say farewell and beg him not to go.
