Gossip: Jay Leno
It could finally be curtains for Jay Leno at The Tonight Show.
It could finally be curtains for Jay Leno at The Tonight Show. NBC is expected to announce in May that Leno will retire from the show in 2014 to make way for comedian Jimmy Fallon, says The Hollywood Reporter. Though Leno’s show still gets higher overall ratings than the competition on most nights, the network is reportedly concerned that ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live is getting a real hold on the coveted 18–49 demographic that Fallon will need to succeed. “The more time Jimmy Kimmel is in that slot, the more the young audience goes that way, the harder it is for [Fallon] to keep that audience,” a network source tells the Reporter.
