            Jay Leno is being replaced by Jimmy Fallon in 2014. The long time host has been treading water for a few years and NBC has looked to replace himThis isn't the first time NBC has tried to replace Leno. This isn't the first time NBC has tried to replace Leno. In 2009, Conan O’brian succeeded Leno as host only to have Leno reclaim the job several months later. O'Brien now hosts a show on the TBS cable channel.

           

            Unlike O'Brien, who moved from New York to Los Angeles when he landed the "Tonight Show" gig, Fallon is expected to remain in New York. An NBC spokeswoman confirmed that a new studio is being built for Fallon. This is a very big sign. It show that NBC has a lot of hope in Jimmy Fallon as a host. Fallon formerly was on “Saturday Night Live”.  A live comedy show on NBC.

            Leno has been getting a lot of criticism lately. People are claiming that his opening monologues aren’t “up to par”. I personally do not believe that it’s fair he is being replaced. He’s been with NBC forever. But I do suppose everything must end. Im looking forward to see Jimmy Fallon back in NBC.

            In the Novel Exit Here the main character definitely learns a lot by the end of the book. The way he led his life, was the basic teenage American dream. He had women and money. He’s only 19. His parents have put up with him until now. He has to go back to college because he flunked and they’re making him go to a school in Los Angeles.

            One example of something he has learned is not to take things for granted. He has everything anyone would ever want. But he still wants more. I don’t understand his thinking. He has a great girlfriend and everything you would ever possibly want in life. But he still wants more. He doesn’t know what he wants. He just knows he wants something more.

            Another thing he has learned is that he has to appreciate friendships. Many of his closest friends stopped being friends with him. His friend Kyle was driving drunk and crashed his car. He killed the passenger and two other people. His friend Cliff killed his girlfriend, and then committed suicide. His friend Claire told him she had feelings for him and he reacted terribly to this.

            In conclusion after all that has happened I can’t stop feeling pity for this character. His story gets more sad after ever page. I feel saddened after ever social encounter he has.
