Tuesday night's (February 9) finale of "The Jay Leno Show" was a relatively tame affair that saw Leno mostly going through the motions to put his primetime run to rest before he returns in a few weeks for a return to the helm of "The Tonight Show." Leno didn't linger much on the fact that he was hosting a finale, though he did devote one segment to looking back on his show's six month run.
The best part of the segment focused on "edited" versions of segments from Leno's run. The host said that they were going to show the "uncut" version of his interview with Kanye West, which happened on Leno's first show and occurred the day after West crashed the stage during the MTV Video Music Awards (West was a guest on the show as part of a musical performance with Jay-Z and Rihanna; the trio later performed "Run This Town"). During the now-classic segment, Leno asked West what his mother would think about his interrupting Taylor Swift's acceptance speech. In the original version, West just looked uncomfortable and forlorn, but the hilarious (and obviously doctored) "raw" version ends quite differently.
