The Tonight Show has been NBC's flagship late night program since 1954, and Jay Leno hosted from 1992 to 2009 and again from 2010 to 2014. During his era the closing used a split credits format, with the theme playing while the screen shared space for what came next, usually the local NBC news. That short arrangement became familiar to nightly viewers in the United States. Online, the clip survives as a nostalgic reference to 1990s and 2000s television and is reused whenever creators want an authentic broadcast ending.

The Tonight Show credits theme from the Jay Leno era, the NBC late night closing music heard before local news, used for TV outros and retro edits.
This is the split credits closing theme from The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, played as the show ended and NBC cut to local news. It is a short, upbeat big band style instrumental with bright brass, drums and a classic late night television feel. At under seventeen seconds it has that polished, cheerful sign off energy that instantly signals the end of a broadcast. Viewers hear it as a nostalgic cue for wrapping up, finishing a segment, or pretending a everyday moment deserves a proper TV ending.
