Jay Leno's final "Tonight" show drew nearly 12 million viewers but fell well short of his most-watched night or Johnny Carson's farewell.

Leno wrapped up his 17-year run on "Tonight" on May 29, with new host Conan O'Brien and James Taylor as guests.

Leno's 1992 debut on "Tonight," replacing Carson, drew 16.1 million viewers. Carson wrapped up his three decades on the show with an audience of 41 million.

LABEOUF TO CO-STAR IN 'WALL STREET' SEQUEL

The actor confirms he'll be in "Money Never Sleeps," director Oliver Stone's follow-up to "Wall Street."

LaBeouf will star opposite Michael Douglas, who won an Oscar for his role in the original 1987 film.

"I don't know what ... a credit derivative is," LaBeouf said. "I have no idea. I don't know what a CPO is. IPB. LVC. You gotta know ticker names."
