    Uh, oh: Howard has competition for "Late Night" from Chelsea Handler and Seth Meyers

    Additionally, NBC is expected to give a final-season send-off for Leno, who continues to deliver for the network. Despite NBC’s bad shape in primetime, finishing fifth in the February sweep among adults 18-49, and the buzz surrounding ABC’s 11:35 PM newcomer Jimmy Kimmel, Leno won the sweep decisively in both 18-49 and total viewers. And despite a series of jabs at NBC’s woes by Leno on The Tonight Show that led to emails of disapproval from NBC topper Bob Greenblatt, the two appear to be on good terms and are reportedly dining together this week. Also needed for a Tonight transition is a replacement for Fallon. While I hear potential candidates have been pitched (Howard Stern also recently threw his name in the ring), NBC executives are not taking official meetings yet. Of course, there are the potential internal candidates that had long been rumored about, like Saturday Night Live‘s Seth Meyers, who would follow in the footsteps of Fallon, also a former Weekend Update host; or E!’s Chelsea Handler.

    No matter who actually gets the gig, Howard will lie like he always does and claim he was offered the job but turned it down. Then he'll drone on for hours about what he WOULD have done and how great he WOULD have been if he took the job. Too bad he hasn't done anything great in years and never will again.

    Howard has never been considered for a tv talk show....besides being hideous he doesn't have the skills or charisma for television.
