Who hosted The Tonight Show in 2009?

• A. Jay Leno
• B. Jimmy Fallon
• C. Steve Higgins
• D. Conan O'Brien

Answer: (D)

The Tonight Show in 2009 featured a hosting transition. Conan O'Brien moved from hosting Late Night to The Tonight Show in June 2009 and carried the show through that year. This is why he is the correct answer: he was the one guiding the Tonight Show during 2009. Jay Leno had hosted the show for many years before that transition, and Jimmy Fallon would only take on the role later in 2014. Steve Higgins serves as Conan’s sidekick/producer on the show, not the host.
