That's why I watch a lot less TV now because the quality has gone way down. Stupid reality shows that are cheap to produce like Big Brother, Amazing Race, and that island one (I have blocked it from my mind), and also that ABC one where they are always running around and sliding down slides with water balloons. I grew up watching great TV in the 1970s and I consider myself fortunate. I remember all the made-for-tv movies, the miniseries, and really ground breaking TV shows, and now we have, what?

Yeh but Jay still had a year left on his contract. NBC paid him some 18 million dollars to go away.

I miss Jay' s monologue , Jay Walking, news clippings too but I like Jimmy' s high energy also.

I heard on the news that Jay and Letterman have buried the hatchet and are working together to help Letterman's ratings.

Of course Jimmy' s gonna do well the first week. It was highly anticipated. Goes to show how genuine those people really are. No thank you.

I also don't think that was Kim K, but it might have been. I didn't think she was a New Yorker, since all the "bet losers" were New Yorkers. .
It was really Kim M. She has posted a number of backstage photos on her Twitter.

I knew that was Kim K. She just is transforming.

I'm starting to warm up to Kimmel.

lol. I did, too, and even watched a snippet of Kimmel.

In switching between the 3, I just couldn't warm up to Fallon. He made Letterman look interesting. I suspect of the 3, before long Fallon will be the best thing to happen to Letterman. How sad is that???

Back in the day, watching Allen,Parr,Carson was fun and interesting because we common folk had no idea what went on in Hollyweird for the most part. Seeing a STAR on the Tonight Show was a treat.

Yes we were fortunate to have good TV back then on fewer channels even.

I'm not a KUWK follower but I have watched from time to time I think since she has been with Kenya she dresses & looks awful.

I wonder why now Leno & Letterman are burying the hatchet Jay must of sold a load a BS about him happy with his leaving to help a hated rival.
