In one of the least surprising bits of entertainment news of the year, NBC has announced that Tonight Show host Jay Leno will be replaced by the younger and prettier Jimmy Fallon in the spring of 2014.

At this point, there's no sign that the 62-year-old Leno will have a monumental shit fit like Conan O'Brien had after he was axed to clear the way for Leno's return a few years ago.

Leno has been making a lot of jokes recently at the expense of NBC executives. You can expect that to continue in the wake of today's news that he's being replaced by a 38-year-old who sometimes acts half his age.

I'm not much of a Fallon fan, but the departure of Leno is cause for celebration among night owls everywhere. Carson himself must be cackling, wherever he is.
