Jay Leno has survived a long time as the host of The Tonight Show, but is he prepared for the ax? Remarkably the above vid is three years old but is as fresh today as it was three years ago, in other words the "problem" that is named Jay Leno will not go away. Two very high level sources have told The Hollywood Reporter that NBC is readying to make a deal with Leno to ankle the coveted Tonight Show franchise in favor of shiny new puppy Jimmy Fallon.
