It's been more than a year since we came together to vote for our favorite late night and daytime talk shows and our favorite late night and daytime talk show hosts. Now it is time to crown new winners for 2013.

Last year, readers selected Late Night with Jimmy Fallon as their favorite late night talk show and The Ellen DeGeneres Show as the best daytime talk program. Fallon and DeGeneres also picked up nods for favorite late night and daytime hosts. And The Roots came out on top with respect to favorite talk show band.

This year we'll vote in the same five categories. But this year will crown an overall champion for favorite talk show and talk show host. The late night and daytime winners will battle for ultimate supremacy and the right to brag that About Talk Shows readers love the very bestest.

We'll begin with Favorite Talk Show - Late Night. From now until midnight EST on May 29, you can have your vote count. After midnight, May 29, you can still vote, but your vote won't count (sorry, Charlie!). So let the voting begin!

Barbara Walters, pioneering broadcast journalist, the first female anchorwoman, and creator of The View, will announce her retirement on the morning talk show Monday.

"It's time," the 83-year-old Walters is quoted in The New York Times.

Walters will take a little time to say goodbye. She won't leave ABC until 2014, spending moments in primetime and on The View to reminisce about her career and give time for her co-workers and fans to wave goodbye.

Speculation that Walters is retiring because of recent health battles is quickly quashed. In the same Times interview, Walters says, "I am not leaving because I am in ill health. ... I want to leave when I'm still very active and very viable. ... I want to go someplace and actually see it."

It's official. Saturday Night Live head writer and Weekend Update anchor Seth Meyers will replace Jimmy Fallon as host of Late Night.

Most believe Meyers was always the odds on favorite to get the post. SNL creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels is also the executive producer of Late Night. Michaels will soon produce The Tonight Show, as well. Fallon will take over as Tonight Show host in 2014. Meyers gets Late Night around the same time or soon after NBC's Winter Olympics coverage.

"I only have to work for Lorne for five more years before I pay him back for the time I totaled his car," Meyers said when announced. "Twelve-thirty on NBC has long been incredible real estate. I hope I can do it justice."

Talk show host Conan O'Brien presided over Washington's annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, during which members of the press get together for dinner and jokes. Even the president gets into the mix, delivering one-liners at a rapid fire pace. This was the second time O'Brien has hosted the event.

When O'Brien took his turn at the podium, he called the event a "nerd prom," saying the event wasn't much different than your typical high school cafeteria.

He even took the opportunity to take a shot at his own recent past, saying, "As you all know, the president is hard at work creating jobs. Since he was first elected, the number of popes has doubled. The number of Tonight Show hosts has tripled."

Talk show hosts are well known emcees of the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Past hosts include Jimmy Kimmel, Jay Leno (four times), Wanda Sykes, Craig Ferguson, Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart.
