The show began with a Wizard of Oz-inspired dream sequence in which Leno said, "There's no place like home, there's no place like home," setting up the scene for current pop culture icon Betty White to peer in and say, "Wow, NBC really did cut your budget -- look at this ratty-assed barn."
Leno held back on bashing NBC -- for the most part -- as he did joke that the network was going downhill quicker than one of his guests, Olympic gold medal skier Lindsey Vonn.
