Jay Leno's response to a question about what he thinks about alleged rapist Bill Cosby wasn't direct, but it did make people laugh!

Last night, Jay Leno received the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, as colleagues praised his work ethic and generosity, and called him "one of the nicest guys in the business." If only he was fucking funny.

Snickering car collector Jay Leno, America's foremost mediocrity merchant, was today named the recipient of the 17th annual Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Perhaps there has been a mistake?

A teary Jay Leno signed off from the Tonight Show for a second time tonight with guests Billy Crystal and Garth Brooks.

Tonight marks Jay Leno's final episode as host of The Tonight Show, after occupying that position for some 21 non-consecutive years. Many would argue that he stole that job from David Letterman, whom Leno's predecessor, Johnny Carson, had picked for the spot. Many would argue that he then stole it again from Conan O'Brien, who briefly occupied the spot from 2009-2010 when Leno failed to transition his act to prime time.

Louis C.K. made his last appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last night, and gave Jay a proper send-off with some Grade A observations about love, happiness, and his long lost directorial debut that's about to see the light of day for the very first time.

Everyone's favorite retiree George W. Bush appeared on The Tonight Show on Tuesday, ostensibly to promote his new library but also to show off one of his new paintings, which he gave to host Jay Leno. The painting, a portrait of Leno, marks something of an artistic shift for Bush, who has spent the past several months seemingly painting only animals—specifically, cats and dogs.

All this "breaking news" about a covert government surveillance program being used to monitor the live conversations of civilians would have been several years old if we had just listened to Shia LaBeouf when he tried to warn us about it during a Tonight Show appearance back in September 2008.

So that thing you loved on Friday? Happy Monday — it's probably fake.

The setup for the Tonight Show segment "Pumpcast News" is dirt simple: Tim Stack of Parker Lewis Can't Lose fame plays a fictional news anchor for a fictional news station called Pumpcast News which only airs on gas station pumps.

Later today, NBC will confirm that Jimmy Fallon is taking over the Tonight Show. As predicted, he'll start in February.

Three years after NBC pulled a hilarious prank on Conan O'Brien by convincing him to move across the country and then, when he got there, promptly setting him on fire, the network has chosen a new fair maiden to sacrifice to the ravenous monster of late night television programming: Jimmy Fallon.

Barbara Walters may be upset and disappointed after being bumped by Lindsay Lohan in favor of appearances on nearly every other talk show, but the Liz & Dick star told Jay Leno last night that "the timing wasn't right."

President Obama stopped by The Tonight Show earlier tonight to discuss, amongst other things, Richard Mourdock's recent idiotic comments about rape.

Tom Hanks was one of several entertainment business colleagues who showed up at Michael Clarke Duncan's memorial service yesterday to pay their final respects to the late actor.

Louis C.K. stopped by the Tonight Show as the third season of Louis C.K.'s brilliant Louie premieres this week. Here are two great bits from his appearance: ragging on Jay Leno's weird face and Jerry Sandusky.

Nice to know he and Barack made up. And also that he got to tell the story of saving his neighbor from her house fire.

Visiting his Late Night predecessor David Letterman for the first time since 1999, talk show host Conan O'Brien took the opportunity to discuss the infamous Tonight Show debacle with a man who knows a thing or two about Tonight Show debacles.

Bill O'Reilly appeared on the Tonight Show tonight and, no surprise here, defended Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich. Santorum, in O'Reilly's view, is so inexperienced that we shouldn't hold what he says against him and apparently Gingrich has had some sort of spiritual awakening which renders of all his past hypocrisies moot. The appearance was basically O'Reilly insisting that Santorum and Gingrich are viable candidates, especially as alternatives to Mitt Romney, whose name only came up once when it was uttered by Jay Leno.

Bill Maher stopped by the Tonight Show and bantered about with Jay Leno tonight. Among the topics covered was Maher's take on Rick Santorum and his outdated politics regarding birth control, gay marriage and life in general which included the nugget that "he believes life begins at erection."
