Jay Leno's Time Runs Out

Mark your calendars Leno fans, as Jay's last gig as Tonight Show host has been set.

Jay will walk away from the stage on May 29, as Conan O' Brien will be walking in on June 1. No word on where the car-collecting comic is headed after his NBC gig is up, but some are talking that you could be seeing him on another network.

Taking over for Conan as Late Night host will be former SNL-er Jimmy Fallon, who's set to start work in March or April of 2009.

Out with the old, in the with young. Will you miss Jay?

I'm not a huge Leno fan...personally I think Johnny Carson is rolling over in his grave at times....but I think that Conan O'Brien is a waste of good breath. I think it's a horrible choice. I love Craig Ferguson!!!!

So glad Conan is replacing Jay. I always found Conan so much funnier and more charismatic. I'm a bit skepitcal of Jimmy Falon being able to pull off his new gig, but we'll see.

I will TOTALLY miss Jay! When my son was born, he was a major night owl and we watched Jay every night! He's kinda part of our family so to speak. Now it's a treat for my now 8 year old to watch Jay on Friday nights.

I think Conan will do a great job and you know Jay will turn up someplace else. Very talented and smart guys always finish first.

They all are talented in their own ways....Jay doesn't 'script' things as much and Letterman who notoriously makes sure all his guests stick to a close pre-interview script...no ad libs...dave frowns on that...but Leno allows more a free flow.....Dave is a bit 'nicer' in his presentation though, whereas Jay can get mean-spirited and nasty at times. Dave keeps it a bit classier. I do enjoy conan and he has great skits and I have to admit, Craig Ferguson is really very very funny and actually could no doubt beat all of them if given a chance...he is more real and more relaxed and genuinely funny. Not sure Fallon can carry the hour..he'll have to have some really good writing and skits, he's not good as an interviewer. Jay...I only tune in for the Headlines and skits and to see who the guests are anyhow, not for him. Ferguson I watch for him.

I doubt many will stay up to watch Conan.. BAD Choice in a host.

Looks like Karma is catching up on the Late Show for them screwing Lettermen. LOL.
