Jay Leno has officially announced his retirement from NBC's "Tonight Show."

As expected, "Late Night" host Jimmy Fallon will succeed Leno in the spring of 2014 when "Tonight" moves back to New York, to 30 Rock -- 42 years after Johnny Carson took the show to Burbank.

With Fallon, 38, NBC hopes to capture the younger viewers and compete with ABC's Jimmy Kimmel, who moved to an 11:35 timeslot in January.

"Congratulations, Jimmy. I hope you're as lucky as me and hold on to the job until you're the old guy," Leno said in a statement. "If you need me, I'll be at the garage."

Everybody's yapping about Jimmy Fallon. I think he has a talent on a magnitude of 3.2 which is more then some of us.

Remember that song from Men At Work back in 1982?

There was a guy on Fox saying that the libs at NBCU couldn’t tolerate Leno, even tho his ratings were good.

That tells you how far left NBC is because I'm fairly sure Leno's a democrat, albeit not a moonbat.
