Bea Arthur, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty have all sadly passed away, but at least we still have the amazing and hard-working Betty White to remind us of how incredible this show is. I know whenever I'm feeling a little down, I'll just pop in a season of The Golden Girls in my DVD player and immediately start laughing and feeling better about the world. I know millions upon millions of people around the world feel the same way...

One of my favorite all-time scenes from the show...

Taking It on the Chin: Jay Leno Lays off Staff/Takes Pay Cut

Talk show host Jay Leno has taken a massive cut in pay, as TV executives have given pink slips to approximately 25 employees of the NBC chat fest.

Leno, 62, offered to take a huge deduction in his salary—estimated to be around $25 million a year—in an effort to keep more employees from losing their jobs. Leno also earns up to $20 million a year from endorsement deals as well as his hectic personal appearance and concert schedule.

NBC announced the cuts this week, even though The Tonight Show with Jay Leno is consistently the top ranked night time talk show, normally besting rival David Letterman in the ratings by several percentage points. Insiders say that other staff members were forced to take a pay cut—or they would lose their jobs as well.

Leno took over the hosting position after the legendary Johnny Carson retired from the show in 1992. Leno created his own controversy after handing over the reigns of the show to fellow host Conan O'Brien in 2009 to host his own prime time, weekly talk show. After the show failed to catch on with viewers in the ratings, Leno requested his old job back, which forced out the affable O'Brien, who did end up collecting a hefty $40 million severance package.

This is just the latest "controversy" facing the Peacock Network in recent weeks. The network was widely criticized for broadcasting portions of the London Olympic Games on a tape delay—including the Opening and Closing Ceremonies—as well as the unceremonious firing of popular Today show anchor Ann Curry. 

Heeerrre's David: Letterman Surpasses Johnny Carson As King of Late Night Tenure

CBS announced that they have renewed David Letterman's contract to keep his late night talk show on the air through 2014.

The affable host began his talk show tenure when The Late Show with David Letterman debuted on NBC in 1982 and ran on the Peacock Network until 1993. CBS picked up the show the same year, where Letterman has been at home ever since.

Johnny Carson hosted The Tonight Show for thirty years, from 1962 until he decided to retire from the show business arena in 1992, opting to go out on a note of class, which he always embodied.

"David Letterman is a late-night legend with an iconic show," said CBS Entertainment President Nina Tassler in making the announcement that the show would continue with the network for the next two years. Letterman, who will turn 65 next week, has won nine Emmy Awards for his late night staple, where he charms celebrity guests and audience members alike with his smooth charm and quick wit.

Playboy Club Has Its Bunny Ears Clipped

NBC has announced the cancellation of its period-drama The Playboy Club, the first show of the new Fall season to get the ax. Does this mean now that series star Eddie Cibrian is out of a job, he will be forced to watch his wife LeAnn Rimes walk around everywhere all day in a bikini taking pictures of herself and posting them on twitter?
