Jay Leno On Tonight Show: Legendary Stand Up Comedianne Gave His Insights On 'The Tonight Show' Evolution!

Jay Leno's take on The Tonight Show evolution is one inspiring one! Entertainment Weekly reported that Leno made an appearance at Jimmy Fallon's talk show to offer his insights on how The Tonight Show has evolved through the past decades. He gave his insights in lieu of the absence of The Tonight Show legend, the late Johnny Carson.

Jay Leno's take on The Tonight Show evolution was as follows:

"Not that there's been that many hosts. But Johnny was very boyish when he was 40 years old, and Johnny had some musical skills as well."

Jay Leno's take on The Tonight Show evolution for the new host, Jimmy Fallon:

"I don't watch every night, but I watch and I enjoy-and I enjoy Seth [Meyers], too. Jimmy's a really great mimic. When I saw him do Neil Young, I just thought it he was lip-syncing the song. But no-he really captures the nuances really well. It's different. Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses. I could never do a musical parody-it's just not what's in me."

Funny man Leno had these insights about the comparative difference between The Tonight Show's past and present monologues:

"The other difference is that the monologue doesn't have the immediacy that I think it had in other eras, because people would come at 11:30 at night to hear what was being said about whatever the story is. Hopefully you're the first person out there breaking or doing a joke about whatever the story is. But in the interim, so many other late-night shows have come along. Plus with social media, it's all over Twitter before it even gets to you."
