Barbara Walters is set to retire in May 2014 after more than five decades as one of the most prominent television journalists in the U.S., Reuters reports citing a source familiar with her plans.

Walters, 83, is reportedly planning to announce her retirement in the next few weeks.

"It was very much her decision. I think she will best explain it herself," the source told Reuters.

A spokesman with ABC's "The View," which Walters created and hosts, gave no comment to Fox News.

Walters has suffered a series of health issues recently. She was hospitalized in January after fainting and hitting her head, and then came down with the chicken pox.

Walters is best known as one of the U.S.' top interviewers. Her subjects have included Fidel Castro, Margaret Thatcher, Saddam Hussein and every U.S. president since Richard Nixon.

Reuters contributed to this report.

NBC reportedly ready to retire Jay Leno, put Jimmy Fallon into late-night game

NBC is ready to announce Jay Leno’s retirement, expecting to move Jimmy Fallon into the coveted late-night time slot, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The announcement is expected in May, according to two high-level industry sources. The 2013-14 television season would be Leno’s last, according to the paper. 

Fallon would then move from his “Late Night” spot into the 11:35 p.m. slot during the summer of 2014. A formal kickoff would happen in the fall.

Sources told the Hollywood Reporter that the network will bring in Fallon partly out of concern about the competition on ABC, which moved younger-skewing Jimmy Kimmel to the 11:35 time slot in January.

Leno, 62, has hosted “The Tonight Show” for 20 years.

NBC denied the report. And Leno’s rep said, “we do not speculate on rumor.”
