After 95 episodes, the epic failure known as The Jay Leno Show airs its final episode tonight. Of course, Leno himself will be back after the Olympics, comfortably at 11:35pm all over again. Which was pretty much the problem to begin with – the 10pm offering started as a similar product to the Tonight Show, and only became more like the old format as time went on.

Is Jay Leno not satisfied with how despised he is right now? The former — and soon-to-be — Tonight Show host been taking hits from arch-rival David Letterman, sure — but did he have to go after Letterman’s wife? It doesn’t take a genius to know that Leno’s attack is a low, mean blow, but check inside to see exactly what he said.

The early days of this week seem like a Disney movie compared with the ugliness that’s broken out in the late-night comedy wars. Before, they were topical jokes blaming one common corporate villain; now, it’s everyone attacking everyone — and Jay Leno is getting in on the action.
