Jay Leno's Farewell

n the 22 years that Jay Leno hosted the "Tonight Show" - give or take the spare months Conan O'Brien took the helm - O.J. Simpson was the celebrity most often used as the butt of Leno's jokes.

The TV veteran took aim at politicians and celebrities with equal zeal, landing family friendly barbs about Lindsay Lohan alongside wisecracks about Al Gore. (Interestingly enough, former President Bill Clinton was the biggest Leno target of all.)

But on Thursday, Leno departed "Tonight" with a simple, tearful farewell.

"It's fun to kind of be the old guy and sit back here and see where the next generation takes this great institution, and it really is. It's been a great institution for 60 years. I'm so glad I got to be a part of it, but it really is time to go, hand it off to the next guy. It really is," Leno said.

"And in closing, I want to quote Johnny Carson, who was the greatest guy to ever do this job. And he said, 'I bid you all a heartfelt goodbye.'

What Do You Think of This Statue?

A controversy this morning on the campus of Wellesley College in Massachusetts.

Imagine waking up, looking out your window and seeing this statue of a mostly naked man. Sleepwalking.

It's a piece of art part of a exhibition of the sculptor's work at the Wellesley College museum but some at the all-female school are demanding the statue be taken down.

They're calling it stress-inducing, and saying it triggers thoughts of sexual assault.

The college says the goal of the exhibition is to provoke discussion.

Boss: Snowden Stole Answers to NSA's Employment Exam

We're finding out today just how Edward Snowden got his job with a major defense contractor,  a position that opened the door to his stealing thousands of documents.

Former NSA director Mike McConnell, now a top executive with Booz Allen Hamilton, says Snowden targeted the firm knowing it would give him high-level access to secrets.

McConnell claims Snowden broke into the NSA's computer system and stole the answers to the agency's employment exam.

Man Shot in the Head, Then ...

In Maine, a man is lucky to be alive today after being shot in the head while watching a friend ice fish.

Scott Fraley was at a stream north of Portland on Sunday talking with his friend when a hunter fired his gun in the woods nearby and hit him. Amazingly, the wound was just superficial.

Prosecutors are considering charging the shooter because it's illegal to hunt on a Sunday but police say the hunter is cooperating.

He claims he was shooting at a squirrel.
