Jimmy Fallon Replaces Conan O'Brien on "Late Night"

Posted by SexiVixxEN 569 days ago
According to FoxNews, Jimmy Fallon ("Saturday Night Live") is set to take Conan O'Brien's job as host of "Late Night" in 2009. Conan, of course, will be taking over for Jay Leno, who will leave the "Tonight Show" in May 2009 as part of a forced retirement.

NBC will make the formal announcement about Fallon around May 11th or 12th, when the network presents the fall '08 schedule to advertisers in New York.

Fallon, who recently married producer Nancy Juvonen, is said to be thrilled and ready, if not a little scared, about taking Conan's desk. He still has to pick a producer and a band, among other things.

As for Leno, he has plenty of options. One of them might be to replace "Nightline" on ABC, pushing Jimmy Kimmel back to 12:30am.

    Wow, Fallon was even a choice? That has to be the most stupid thing I've heard in a long time.

    I'm sure they didn't force Johnny Carson to retire, when he had the show, so why should Jay be any different? If it were a legitimate passover, then Conan's a great choice for a replacement. It'll be interesting to see how that goes, otherwise, all this means is, I can watch Conan an hour earlier, then switch Fallon off.

    Well, one thing on my mind the hella sux that jay Leno is being forced to retire and that Conan is taking his spot. But thats where my good news comes in at least it is Conan instead of some amateur and also for late night. Kudos to Jimmy and Conan. Jay Leno we'll miss ya man.
