That whirring sound is Johnny Carson, spinning


Rico says it's a tempest in a teapot, but this whole Leno/O'Brien/Fallon late-night thing is such petulant Hollywood bullshit. First, Leno has to get moved to prime time to prove something, realizes it's not all it's cracked up to be, and now wants to move back. Then O'Brien takes over the Tonight Show slot, and now doesn't want to move back to the obscurity of after-midnight. Fallon, of course, is just happy to have a show with his name on it, no matter what time it airs.
When he was young (many years ago), Rico used to stay up just to watch The Tonight Show, when Johnny Carson was the host. Now that he's older, he wouldn't stay up late to watch any of these three clowns even if you paid him... (Well, maybe, but it'd cost you a lot.)
