On Wednesday, Jay Leno confirmed the rampant reports that he's once again departing "The Tonight Show," presumably for good this time.
He'll wrap up his 22-year run as host in spring 2014, with Jimmy Fallon officially signing on as his replacement.
The expectation that he would leave NBC's legendary late-night program has been building recently. NBC execs told The Hollywood Reporter and The New York Times in early March that Leno was going to be out and someone else, most likely "Late Night" host Fallon, was going to be in.

Way to go Jimmy!!!!! Less DVR, more watching live with early time slot!! Way to go Jimmy on not giving up NY to switch!!! That's a TRUE New Yorker!!
Fallon is much funnier.
Agreed, Chrissy; I like Jimmy Fallon enormously.
Johnny was better than all of them put together !

Only prob is i like jimmy kimmel too and now they will be on at the same time.
Nice man,but his material was soooooo lame & boring.mary is right,johnny was the best
Don't really watch these guys much anymore but if there is ever another like Johnny Carson, who for me was the best ever, I will definitely watch!
