This is the first episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno from May 25, 1992.
Following the departure of Johnny Carson, Jay's first show was broadcast live and featured a classic monologue, a comedy skit, an introduction of Branford Marsalis as band leader, first guest Billy Crystal, a performance from R&B star Shanice, and a fun discussion of economics with CBS correspondent Robert Krulwich.
Shanice performed her hit "I Love Your Smile" as well as a cover of Minnie Riperton's "Lovin' You." This was recorded on NBC5 Chicago (WMAQ-TV) and includes commercials for maximum 1990s nostalgia.
