Business is business. Not monkey business. You made the right call - hopefully today it’s still the right one.

Sadly, I don't even remember her name. Too bad, because now, some 20 years later, I am single again and in the market for a new lady.

So if I had her contact info, I would keep it for myself. Probably just as well, though. Even if she's single also, one life lesson I have learned in the intervening years is that the pretty ones are always (or at least usually) nuts.

I think Anthony Weiner is friends with her on Facebook.

Seinfeld’s last season had their best ratings. Friends final was 4th best for the season, coming in negligibly below their 3rd best season and still getting over 20 million viewers. There is something to be said for going out on top, and often times announcing you’re going out helps the ratings.

We will not be watching Fallon.

I liked the commercials when a baby was throwing stuff at him.

Me too, I actually appeared on the Steve Allen show back in 1962 when I was 12.

Jay Leno is a nice guy, I am sure, but he is NOT funny. We watch his monologue every night because my husband likes him. Jay has to repeat the punchline to every joke at least twice just to make sure you got it. I get it Jay and it’s not funny!

... the much younger Fallon—who literally was in diapers when Leno first performed his stand-up routine on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in March 1977

He's still in diapers, last time I checked ...

Thanks Bon mots.
Now, once again, he has been asked to abdicate, this time so that the much younger Fallon -- who literally was in diapers when Leno first performed his stand-up routine on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson in March 1977 -- can take over at 11:35 p.m. The plan, which NBC announced in April, is for the former Saturday Night Live star to leave his 12:37 a.m. program, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and take possession of the Tonight Show franchise in February with the strong promotional lead-in of NBC's Olympics coverage. The irony -- and it's a rich one -- is that Leno has never been more dominant: the Nielsen ratings for the second week in July have him beating CBS's David Letterman by a 43 percent margin in the all-important "viewers 18 to 49" category (on which advertising rates are set) and swamping ABC's Jimmy Kimmel by a crushing 75 percent. The "total viewers" number is a similar story, with Leno delivering 3.3 million compared with Letterman's 2.6 million and Kimmel's 2 million. Not counting a two-year rough patch after Letterman was enthroned at CBS in 1993, that makes 17 seasons in which Leno has won his time period since he started hosting the iconic show on May 25, 1992.

Yeah, I was standing outside the TV studio with my parents and younger brother waiting to get in to see a taping of the show and they aimed a camera at us as Steve Allen made comments about what goofball looking kids we were. Saw it on TV two weeks later.

So you didn’t hire the best qualified candidate because of your weakness and failings? As one who has suffered from unjustified discrimination in the workplace, that disgusts me!

Was that the prime time show.

We went to a taping I think near Hollywood and Vine.

Maybe you weren't really discriminated against. Perhaps everybody just found you to be a rude, self-important, bitterly judgmental, insufferable jerk with severe anger management issues. Did you ever think of that?

Go away. Nobody likes you.
