O'Brien, who is set to take over the show from Leno on June 1, was "a natural for the final guest," Leno said, according to the article.
In addition to O'Brien, viewers should anticipate another surprise during the finale. NYTimes.com reported that Leno "had something special planned for the show’s last moments."
After ending "The Tonight Show," Leno will debut a new series on NBC in September.
Twitterers shared mixed reactions:
