Well, maybe, according to reports that "various talent agents... admit they have quietly been contacted by NBC officials hoping to find a new late-late host who will eventually take over Fallon’s 12:35 a.m. time slot"-- which would leave Fallon free to take on the big job after Jay Leno's contract expires in 2014, writes Don Kaplan. "[M]y money is on how NBC brass are betting it’s high time they cash in on a generational shift toward younger viewers that has been going on in late-night television for some time."
Letterman is older than Leno. When is that geezer getting the heave-ho? Note to self, I am Leno's age. But Letterman is the age that Carson was when he aged-out, at 65.
