tonight show" is the gold standard. it's always been the critical piece of the nbc brand. >> we have smart bombs and dumb reporters. isn't that unbelievable? >> jay stepped in there, dug himself out of that hole. that's amazing because the pie has been cut up so much. >> we did four more years, and then we had come to the end of our run. >> thank you. i don't like good-byes. nbc does. i don't. i don't care. >> as sad as it was that it ended, i felt really good walking out there. >> when people say to me, why don't you go to abc? why don't you go to fox? i didn't know anybody over there. these are the only people i have ever known. >> we had all been through a lot together. grown up together, matured together, and it was an emotional moment. i love jay. he is such a kind person.
