Tear Jerker / The Tonight Show with Jay Leno

Go To

  • No matter how you feel about the man himself, in both of Leno's farewells, one can't help but end up choking back tears:
    • In the first one, Leno revealed all the kids who were born to crew members during the show's run.
      Jay: And that's what I would like my legacy to be: when these kids grow up and say "Hey mom, dad, where did you guys meet?", I want them to say "We met on the set of The Tonight Show."
    • Leno's true farewell speech on his final show, February 6, 2014. Especially when he talks about losing (more or less) his entire biological family after first starting on the show and how the staff eventually became his family.
