They say it’s good to leave when you’re on top.. Jerry Seinfeld even did that when he stopped his program before the end of the 20th century.
The world of late night television will soon see an exit of Jay Leno, who will leave the NBC’S TONIGHT SHOW. When he does leave, he will move on with some really high ratings..
As a matter of fact, one must ask why is leaving when he is so young, when he’s on top, and when he wins in the ratings every night (and has done so since the mid 1990s)..
I am a watcher of late night comedy..
Leno turned the tables on David Letterman in the 90s when he had Hugh Grant on his program after a sex scandal. After that, it seemed that all of the viewers who left the TONIGHT SHOW came back again.
For over a decade, Letterman was trailed. Jimmy Kimmel has been moving up in recent months, but still is behind the juggaruant of the TONIGHT SHOW.
As the DAILY BEAST points out in an extremely inter sting article today, Leno has been on top for 17 seasons..
17 seasons..
And this is the second time, even with high ratings, that NBC is tossing Leno aside in place of someone else they think can win the young demographic—even though Leno trounces competition in that age group!
I think Jimmy Fallon will start big and fail.. I predict that. While the TONIGHT SHOW will never perhaps be canceled for bad ratings, I do not think Fallon is ready for early late night. Beer pong and celebrity games will not work.. There may be a chance that Jimmy Fallon will end up being the best thing that could happen to David Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel.
If you’re interested, read the DAILY BEAST article here.. And afterwards think to yourself, why in the world is NBC getting rid of the best thing they have..in place of someone who may not live up to the expectations placed on him..

The late night host who leaves at the top of his game.. why?
House Republicans gone wild: A farm bill passes that rewards big agribusiness, seniors will lose visits from Meals on Wheels, and fewer lower income people will get cards to buy unhealthy canned food. A must read story that may effect your future--but will undoubtedly effect the future of the nation as a whole..
We have been told that early humans were warlike. What if they were not?
There would be some big implications.. And our modern “civilized society” would need to do some soul searching about how we have lost the way..
Consider this:
And here we thought that road rage evovled from stone age cave rage..
We have long been told that war is bred deep within humanity.. that our early ancestors killed and maimed for food and terrirtory.. that we are warlike in our nature.. But maybe that is all wrong!
A new study seems to suggest that mankind didn’t go to war until much later than previously thought, and that tribal societies found war to be an alien concept! So those old humans we would laugh and joke about perhaps were one with the land, one with each other, and learned to live, hunt, and forge new worlds without killing and destroying.. Could that be possible!?
Amazing to consider..
As the quote from THE STAND goes: Those summer colds are the worst




More Lady, less Gaga.

Wood shafted..
According to the NZHERALD, Wood’s movie MANIAC has been targeted by the Office of Film and Literature.. And now the debate begins: Is this censorship or a nation deciding to keep the mental health of its citizenry safe (I feel its censorship, despite the fact I do not care to see the Frodo remake of this movie, this type of horror is not my cup of blood, really)..
The Office of Film in New Zealand said that the movie could be disturbing to children and adults..
However: The film WILL be able to be shown at film festivals..
I’d love to hear thoughts?

Pope Francis had to arrive at his welcoming reception at Guanabara Palace in Rio de Janeiro by helicopter on Monday night as protests gathered outside during his first foreign trip to Brazil.
It would seem that the Papal trip is getting a bit alarming security wise..

6 Startling Facts About Moms Working In The Restaurant Industry
Well… they are not startling unless you are a mom in the restaurant industry, know one, or have one..
This could go for several industries..
But so often people, not just moms, but also some men, who work in the trade of serving the well-to-do their steak and lobster are unappreciated.
Even Justin Bieber urinates in your bucket when you least expect it..
6 Startling Facts About Moms Working In The Restaurant Industry
New York mayoral candidate and former Rep. Anthony Weiner confirmed as real some newly emerged, sexually tinged online exchanges he had with an unnamed woman.
"As I have said in the past, these things that I did were wrong and hurtful to my wife and caused us to go through challenges in our marriage that extended past my resignation from Congress," Weiner said in a statement. "While some things that have been posted today are true and some are not, there is no question that what I did was wrong."


One more Pope story
Another image that is striking—much more than Popes with royal palaces or those who wore Prada shoes.. this pope carries his own luggage.
Thanks to UNDER THE DOME last night, this song has re-entered pop culture …and it’s much creepier than it was when the love song originally debuted.
And if the world was going to end today, this Skeeter Davis song would be the perfect signoff.
Cue it up CNN. Let’s be ready.
