Monday night saw NBC’s return to regular television programming post-Olympics and Jay Leno’s return to “The Tonight Show.” Leno began the show mocking NBC for its infamous late-night shake-up that resulted in Conan O’Brien leaving NBC and Leno replacing O’Brien as host, saying, “It’s good to be home. I’m Jay Leno, your host … at least for a while.”

According to PEOPLE.com, Leno also made fun of everything from the Olympics to Dick Cheney’s heart problems, from the Toyota recall to Tiger Woods. Leno’s first guests were Olympic alpine skier Lindsey Vonn, Jamie Foxx and Brad Paisley.

Twitter users were largely against Leno’s return; however, Leno does have a few supporters out there:

1.
