The last day of Jay Leno’s Tonight Show hosting tenure will be May 29th, 2009.

His successor, as previously announced, will be Conan O’Brien, whose first night as Tonight Show host will be the following Monday, June 1st. Jimmy Fallon will be taking over for Conan…which has disaster written all over it.

Jay is being forced into early retirement to make room for Conan in the coveted 11:30pm slot. When Conan threatened to leave NBC, they gave Jay the boot. Although there have been rumors of Leno’s supreme dissatisfaction of the decision, he’s handling it like a gentleman and a consummate professional.

That’s impressive and admirable.

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip It
Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
