Last night I watched Jay Leno’s last Tonight Show. I started watching the tonight show while my mother ironed the underwear and wash cloths. Remember that? Johnny Carson was king of the Late Nite. Now Jay bids farewell for Conan to take over.
I went to Jay Leno’s show in Burbank three times. It was a very cool experience. I love L.A. You see Jay started on the Tonight Show when I started at Zion Church. I thought I would retire before he quit. Jay, the stand up comedian, will continue on and on. I look forward to his early variety show this fall.
His humor is clean and a way to laugh at life. God bless him with many more years of jokes.
Proverbs 15:13
“A happy heart makes the face cheerful, but heartache crushes the spirit.”
