NBC should just run Carson re-runs especially the ones back in the day when they were drinking and smoking during the interview. Plus what happened to the guests sticking around.

When Leno goes to Fox, you'll have, within an hour, the choice of Letterman, Kimmel, Conan, Fallon, Stewart, Colbert and Jay.

Carson had it easy.

Will The Roots be sticking around? I would hope so, but I do not know the extent of their contract. I know they would not have moved to LA, but staying in NYC should be fine with them.

How long before Fallon will be replaced by El Chino?

Decillion: Carson had it easy.

Pat Sejak, Joan Rivers, Arsenio Hall all failed against Carson, and he was only doing 3 nights a week then.

/Arsenio later did indeed become competition but that was a syndicated show and could be edgier than a network show.

So, now what? For a monologue, he's gonna come out every night in some ethnic stereotype outfit and tell me he has 50% more something? Then a baby is going to throw something at his dick?

Yeah, OK - I'd watch that for a few weeks...

I don't f*cking care, it's not important. LucasArts just got shut down, now that is important.

/sadder than I think I should be

Just let the "Tonight Show" and sell some boxed sets involving Carson & Letterman when they were on.

Marshal805: Just let the "Tonight Show" die and sell some boxed sets involving Carson & Letterman when they were on.

Fixed

I am fairly convinced that anyone is going to do a better job than Leno.

Speaking of people that should retire, why is David Letterman still on the air?  He hasn't been funny nor relevant since the late 80's.

This is how much I no longer give a fark:

I couldn't help but o_O  and do a double-take at the pic considering your login. Maturity isn't my strong suit.

I didn't know that so many people were fans of Carson Daly.

Good bye lantern jawed FREAK.... Yeeeesssss

As bad as Tonight Show is, I'd like Leno get out of NBC and see if he has any chops left in the real comedy world.

The only chops that tubby has left are off the back of a pig.
And he's not sharing.

The guy still does live shows like every weekend in vegas or reno or places like that. I assume that when he leaves NBC he will probably just do vegas full time. The guy seems like the definition of a workaholic.

Let's mess with the only show that makes money. Good luck on Fox, Jay.

That's funny. Seems to me if you really didn't care, you wouldn't feel the need to go on the internet and tell everyone. Because then you legitimately wouldn't care.

I never knew this.  I do remember way back before he got the Tonight Show he did an interview where he confirmed he was booked solid for something like three and a half years - so your workaholic comment doesn't surprise me.  The Vegas thing is kind of disappointing.  I was hoping he'd shed that stank from overly catering to decency and sponsors.  Whattawhore.

I'm having a case of the stoopids. What am I looking at a picture of?

Speaker2Animals: Except for Colbert, there isn't one of them even remotely close to Carson.

Craig Ferguson is the most spiritually similar to Carson and certainly the best interviewer. His show was really entertaining and always had its unexpected and unscripted moments (and even silly Carsonesque skits)... well, up until he got the horsey and the robot skeleton and started phoning in the same damn show every night.

The chin is dead. Long live the smirk.

"Don't do it, Jimmy!"

Seriously, Jimmy, do NOT take the job until Jay Leno is dead, a wooden stake driven through whatever alien lump of flesh that passes for his heart, and buried under 30 feet of ferro-concrete. And even then, get a parachute clause. A good one.

Jay Leno is a douchebag. Screwed Carson, screwed Letterman, screwed Conan. And he's gonna screw you too, Jimmy. Even if he's dead, he'll fashion some sort of zombie strap-on out of $100 bills and fark you with it. And no lube.

Remember when I told you that Jay wasn't going to go away.........?

I hear they're going to replace him with Louis CK.

Screw LucasArts and Leno, Iain M Banks is going to be dead within a year.

Carson had it easy.

Carson was better than the rest of them combined.

I actually like Fallon and his schtick.

The notion that late night talk shows are still important or relevant amuses me to no end.

It's a trick.  Get an axe.

I hope Dave stays on forever. TV needs a grumpy old man and he's been around long enough to tell people to get stuffed.
