Yeah, I started watching last night as a Leno hater, but thought "meh, it's a big night and I'd like to see Garth Brooks perform".
What got me was the family thing, because me and others have always laighed at that like it was a knock against him. You always here other comedians like Kimmel and Stern making fun of him about not really being into family, having no kids and how his shows is all he's got, like it's a bad thing.
So to hear him crying and saying "In my first season, my mom died, in my second season, my dad died, then I lost my brother, then after that I was pretty much out of family", and went on to say that the show really became his family, was a pretty emotional to watch.
