Carson's ratings were beginning to fall a bit and the Tonight Show was showing it's age. Leno had offers to go to other networks and his agent used that leverage to get NBC to expedite Johnny's retirement. I thought everyone knew that.
Does that say when this will air?

This is nuts. Carson left on his own. If he were pushed, he would have gone to another network. The battle was over who would replace him, Leno or Letterman, but no one could have pushed him out. Only God could have taken him out.
