As you probably know by now, Jay Leno is leaving The Tonight Show, and Conan will be taking over as host. I love Conan, so this makes me very happy. Jay Leno fans also have something to be happy about–now they won’t have to stay up so late to see him as he’ll be starting a new talk show, set to air weekdays at 10pm.
In honor of this momentous historical occasion (hee hee), I’ve written some commemorative poetry…
Goodbye Jay, Hello Conan (The Tonight Show)
by Edie Montgomery-Pool
Goodbye, Jay
I never watched you anyway
Your jokes aren’t really my style
They rarely made me crack a smile
Conan – hi!
You’re a funny funny guy
The moment I heard you’d be the new star
I programmed you into my DVR
And for those of you who like funny haikus (and who doesn’t love a funny haiku)…
Jay Leno Leaves The Tonight Show
by Edie Montgomery-Pool
So long, Jay Leno
Your giant chin will fill my
TV screen no more
