With NBC floundering, new rumors are surfacing in The Hollywood Reporter that it may be time for Jay Leno to retire after the 2013-2014 TV season. His heir apparent is Jimmy Fallon, whose show is more popular than Jay’s with younger viewers. Do you think there is any truth to this speculation?
It was not long ago that the late night world was upended when NBC tried to force Jay out in favor of successor Conan O’Brien. That ended badly, with Leno being returned to his former slot and Conan defecting to cable network TBS. Will Jay finally be facing retirement, or is this all just gossip yet again? Stay tuned.

Anne Hathaway had a memorable award season, but all those acceptance speeches have deepened her voice, according to Late Night.

Late Night: George Washington History Corner
George Washington, the nation’s first president, was the subject of Jimmy Fallon’s History Corner.

Jimmy Fallon: The Bachelor Finale
In global news, the Late Night staff dubbed international news footage with an inane and embarrassing personal anecdote.
With just two contestants left on The Bachelor, Jimmy thought this would be the perfect time to turn Sean Lowe’s face upside down in video footage from the show. It actually might be more watchable in this format. What do you think?
