On The Case For The Tonight Show with Ellen DeGeneres
My money's on Chelsea Handler. Last year, she appeared on The Tonight Show six times, so it's clear that she has an existing relationship with both Jay Leno and NBC. Over the years, she has been honing her reputation as a late-night host and for me, it makes for more sense for a younger host like Chelsea Handler to want to step into a brand like The Tonight Show than an older comic like Ellen to make the move from daytime - where she has successfully turned herself into a brand - into a somewhat tarnished late night brand like The Tonight Show. Handler has that Joan Rivers-esque sensibility and lest we forget, Rivers was Johnny Carson's stand-in on The Tonight Show for yonks.

Am I the only one that thinks that all of Nasim Pedrad's characters are the same - down to the physical mannerisms and vocal intonation? I think that she's a talented sketch comedian, of course, and a fabulous utility player. But I wouldn't go so far as to call her diverse. Bedelia, Henry, her character from "My Brother Knows Everything" - I feel like these are way too similar and not displaying the diversity I think she possesses. I'd like to see her portray more adult characters next season, as opposed to relying on the "awkward kid" staple.
