Late night TV’s last guests
May 21, 1992
The guests: Johnny had no guests on his final show, but on the Thursday night program he had Robin Williams, who did his usual manic schtick, and Bette Midler, who tapped a rare emotional vein on the show when she performed “One for My Baby (and One More for the Road),” which brought a tear to Johnny’s eye.

The guests: In a moment soon to go down in infamy, out-going host Leno welcomed incoming host Conan O’Brien to the set and talked about handing over the reins. Of course, we all know what happened after that. (Paul Drinkwater / Associated Press)
