This week, NBC decided to fire Jay Leno (again) as host of “The Tonight Show” and replace him with the popular and much younger “Late Night” host Jimmy Fallon. But as rumors of Leno’s demise swirled prior to the official announcement from NBC, the 2 men saw a classic comedic moment and seized it.
Swearing that there’s no bad blood between them (a’ la Jay vs. Conan a few years ago), Jay and Jimmy conceived a parodied version of the song “Tonight” from the musical “West Side Story,” which fit perfectly with the replacement speculation.
“‘Tonight,’ ”Tonight.’ Who’s gonna host ‘Tonight.’ Is it gonna be Jimmy or Jay?” is just one funny line of this comedic must see. Oh well, at least now we know the answer!
THANK GOD IT’S FRIDAY!
