The week of Feb. 3 begins NBC’s late-night hosting transition, with Jay Leno ending (again) his 20-plus-year run as host of The Tonight Show. The Tonight Show‘s new helmer, Jimmy Fallon — who takes over as host starting Feb. 17 — will also be ending his current hosting gig this week, when he bids farewell to Late Night after five years. Seth Meyers, who himself just said goodbye to Saturday Night Live on Feb. 1, will be the new host of Late Night starting Feb. 24.
Before the changeovers, though, Leno and Fallon will each bring their current stints to an end with a week of notable, and sometimes poignant, guests and looks back. Leno’s last show on Feb. 6 will feature Billy Crystal, who also was Leno’s very first Tonight Show guest, and Monday’s show will find Leno hosting Fallon in a sort of “changing of the guard” moment. Fallon’s final Late Night on Feb. 7 will include a visit from The Muppets.
