Jay Leno is out - Jimmy Fallon is in on the Tonight Show

[hisno1girl]

So says CNN.

Jay will wrap up next spring (2014) and Jimmy Fallon will take over.

I like this announcement.

Buuuuurrrrrrn

sent from my I crashed my car into a bridge. I don't care. I love it.

[thebamker]

I feel like I've heard all this before.

[joshlyman]

I looooove Jimmy. He is dorky and awesome. So I am very very happy about this

[Jalapeñomel]

I hate Jimmy Fallon. I hate how he laughs at his own jokes which are never funny.

I was also not a Jay Leno fan either.

I bet Leno is pissed.

I think maybe a little.

However, they just did a duo of a West Side Story spoof where it seems like Jay is "passing on the torch" and they talk about still being friends.

Yes!

The first time I saw it, I thought it was so awkward.

But I love them now. I think you (general you) just have to embrace how awkward Fallon can be at times.

[eb777888]

Wait, so was Leno forced out?

[karmasabiotch]

I'm waiting to hear how Conan responds.

If I were Fallon, I'd get it in writing like 57 different ways. And then I'd force Leno to go on tape promising he's not going to bitch me like he bitched Conan.

This was exactly my thoughts!

Man, late night gets shady. So many people have been fucked over the tonight show.

[cleo29]

Let's hope he actually leaves this time. What happened to Conan was ridiculous.

Does Leno think Carson wasn't tempted to come back and kick Leno out? What a tool. (leno, not carson)

The thank you notes are my favorite. I always bug H  "thaaank yooou.........h........for making dinner/laundry/whatever.
I stopped watching because I didn't see/hear the thank you notes anymore.

I still feel bad for Conan.

I think his awkwardness is why I love him so. Laughing at your own jokes? So me. I think he is brilliant in his awkwardness. Plus his music CD? That was epic.

[azurely]

I am so glad to hear this!

Jay Leno is a d-bag. I refuse to give him ratings after he screwed Conan over. I like Jimmy Fallon. I agree that he is awkward funny.

I wonder if Conan will take over on CBS someday for Letterman. I love him, but I don't ever watch now that he's on TBS.

I'm not really a Fallon fan, other than old Weekend Reports and his The Bathroom Wall Cd.
But, I weep ugly tears for Coco.
Team Coco for lyfe!

+1 for Team Coco!

Boo.  After what they did to Conan I am worried they are going to destroy another comedian I love.  F you, tonight show, you suck.  You should have to keep your stupid Jay Leno till the end of time.
