We'll be through with all these Leno posts in a day or so…but here's Bill Carter's piece for the New York Times.
I think it's a little silly to try and compare Jay's last show to Johnny's. Johnny was leaving and while he said he wanted to find something else to do in show business — and from all reports, did look and didn't find anything he wanted to do — Jay is not retiring from the entertainment industry or maybe going away forever, no matter how much Howard Stern might like that. He's just not going to do that particular show anymore.
