Another new guy is retiring.

Mr. froggy just told me he’d heard on the radio that Jay Leno will retire tonight. We aren’t fans and have seen him on the show only a couple of times and have never watched an entire show. Same with Johnny Carson.

Jack Paar was The Man. Carson and Leno were always the new guys to us.
