That is, at least, a report gathered by the New York Post. In it, the Post writes that Shaffer is considering leaving the show when his contract expires in 2014.
The article cites a quote from Shaffer in TV Guide Canada: "We’ve been on 30 years so now we’ve got another two years. I’m going to be certainly ready to lie down after that, take a nap."
According to the Post, Shaffer's current contract pays $5 million per year and said that he admits it won't be easy to give up his job.
"I love to be the center of attention," he jokes. “My oversized ego craves it and needs it."
The Post goes on to say that Shaffer insists that anything can still happen.
"Life is nutty. Anything can happen. I’ve been so lucky and blessed to be working this long in show business."
