Jay Leno
L) Late night talk show hosts Jimmy Fallon (R) and Jay Leno pose in the press room at the Golden Globes awards ceremony in Beverly Hills in this January 13, 2013 file photo. (R) Jimmy Kimmel poses on arrival for the 2013 MusiCares Person of the Year Tribute in this February 8, 2013 file photo in Los Angeles. The late-night TV hosts appear set for a new reshuffle, with veteran 'Tonight Show' presenter Leno said to be hanging up his microphone, after reportedly falling out with his NBC bosses. In the latest jostling for position in the prized late-night slots, 62-year-old Leno is expected to hand over next year to hip pretender Jimmy Fallon, 38, who could move the iconic show from Los Angeles to New York. The show's move to New York could be good news for another younger star of late night Kimmel, leaving the 45-year-old alone on the West Coast to book Hollywood stars for appearances on his Jimmy Kimmel Live show.
