Jay Leno being pushed out of The Tonight Show?


Is Jay Leno being pushed out of The Tonight Show? 
From The Hollywood Reporter, ((The network says categorically no, but two high-level industry sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that NBC is moving toward a May announcement that the 2013-14 television season will be the last for Leno as host of the long-running late-night show))
Keep in mind that this is all under rumors stories. 
I am not a fan of Leno and I think he plays it too safe with his show.  His skits aren't that funny either.  And, don’t get me started on the whole O'Brien issue.  Leno had a chance to simply walk away rich and with some respect, but he didn't take that route and pretty much helped shove O’Brien out the door. 
This time around it has to do with demographics.  Jimmy Kimmel brings in the younger viewers (18-49); while Leno’s safe humor brings in the old folks.  I hope Kimmel does win the nighttime wars. 
Would you see Leno making fun of Melissa Joan Hart? 
Kimmel has always had an edge to him and he isn’t afraid to attack someone, in the same manner as Letterman. For once, I think it would be a good idea to bring in Jimmy Fallon.  While Fallon isn't as edgy as Letterman and Kimmel, he'd bring in the younger demo.  

Hey, Leno can go back to being the Doritos Guy.

I still love that Bill Hicks routine about Jay Leno.

that was f'ing brilliant. Most people forget he was hawking those chips and was known as only that. But he did do some shitty movie which i can't remember between that gig and The Tonight show.

I wonder who hated him more Kimmel or Hicks?

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Uh, this is objectionable attire? http://abcnews.go.com/US/Travel/story?id=3571435&page=1 ((Kyla Ebbert, a blond, shapely 23-year-old San Diego coed who also works shifts at a Hooters restaurant, boarded the flight to Tucson , Ariz. , on a one-day round-trip visit to an Arizona doctor's appointment. She had settled into her seat when a flight attendant confronted her about what was later described by the airline as "revealing attire.")) ((Ebbert said she told the flight attendant she needed to remain on that flight so could make her doctor's appointment and that because she was on a day trip, she had not packed any luggage from which she could take clothes to change.)) If they got upset over this, they should come to U of L and check out the girls and what they’re barely wearing here. Come one people, she’d be sitting most of the time. Are we in forth grade and a hot woman can’t show a little skin? Now I can see them having a problem with her comin...

a U of L cheerleader gets into a little bit of trouble...

Image
The Internet can be a dangerous place, and things that you did with that camera can come back to ruin your life. A very attractive University of Louisville cheerleader by the name of Becca Manns took some pictures of herself naked and also having sex with a dude. Either her memory stick or camera was stolen, and the theft uploaded the graphic photos onto the World Wide Web. That was when the shit hit the fan (Louisville Fan). She ended up having to leave the program and probably school. (I am currently enrolled in UofL as well, but you won't find any photos of me.) I sort of feel sorry for her because she did one crazy thing, and now it has ruined her life. However, I have to say this to her: You were given a chance to do something many people would never get a chance to do, go to an University. You have to learn fairly quickly that every action good or bad has consequences. Exposing yourself probably wasn't good for your career or your life. (James steps off his ...
