Jay Leno has announced his guest lineup for very last night hosting on The Tonight Show. During his final Tonight Show broadcast on May 29, Jay will host his successor Conan O'Brien and singer James Taylor.

The show will conclude a week of shows that will feature actor Mel Gibson, comedian Billy Crystal, California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Prince.

O'Brien will begin his Tonight Show reign on June 1 while Leno will move to his new job: making Monica Lewinsky and O.J. Simpson jokes on a new prime-talk show starting in the fall.

Leno says the final day of his 17-year tenure at the Tonight Show will be a low-key affair.

"It's not like you are leaving showbusiness, or leaving the network, or even leaving the (studio) lot."
