TORONTO — Jimmy Fallon ended his run as host of Late Night on Friday with a monologue that mentioned two troubled Canadians and a performance of a Canadian song.
Fallon said over the course of 969 shows he told more than 10,000 jokes.
“The best way I could summarize those jokes is that Joe Biden needed Obamacare after Anthony Weiner texted Justin Bieber a picture of Chris Christie dating a Kardashian on the Jersey Shore,” he said. “With Rob Ford.”

The show ended with Fallon and The Muppets performing “The Weight” — a song by The Band written by Toronto-born Robbie Robertson.
