LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Jay Leno has announced his last "Tonight Show" guest - his successor, Conan O'Brien.

Previously announced guests for Jay's final week include Mel Gibson, Lyle Lovett, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Wanda Sykes, Sarah McLachlan, Dwight Yoakam and Billy Crystal.
As for his new primetime show, Jay said he's hoping to bring some humor to an ordinarily dramatic time slot.
"There's no laughs at 10 o'clock," Jay said. "To me, 10 o'clock is like the new 11:30. I hear so many young people, 'I gotta carpool, I gotta get up at 6.'"

DiamondGirlConan is more annoying than funny. Most of the jokes and skits he does fall flat to me. I prefer Craig Ferguson and Jimmy Fallon over him any time.report abuseposted May 14, 2009 5:16 PM PDT
