Jeremy Paxman presented his final episode of Newsnight yesterday evening.
The 63-year-old broadcaster thanked viewers for watching him on BBC Two's current affairs programme for 25 years as he signed off for the last time.
He said: "Thank you for watching 'Newsnight'. I hope you continue to enjoy it. Goodnight and goodbye."
However, in a funny moment after the credits, Paxman appeared on-screen again to front the weather update.
He quipped: "And tomorrow's weather, more of the same. I don't know why they make such a fuss about it."
The veteran TV presenter injected some humour into his final broadcast by interviewing the Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, while riding a tandem bicycle.
Paxman quizzed Johnson on his London bicycle hire scheme, famously dubbed 'Boris Bikes'.
The host announced his decision to quit the topical programme last month.
He said: "After 25 years, I should rather like to go to bed at much the same time as most people.
"This was a decision I reached - and informed the BBC of - last July. I shall work out the remainder of my contract and will not seek another.
"It's been fun. I have had the pleasure of working with lots of clever, creative and amusing people. I think I've been lucky and wish the programme well."
Paxman will continue to present 'University Challenge'.
