Jimmy Fallon to take over for Connan O'Brian

"Letterman's going nowhere, but close enough: Fallon is succeeding Conan O'Brien as the host of NBC's "Late Night" sometime in the middle of next year. NBC on Monday made official a plan that's been talked about since 2003, when a network executive first broached the idea of doing a talk show with the former "Saturday Night Live" star.

"I've been doing a monologue in my living room the last three years and it was embarrassing," Fallon joked at a news conference.

However, he said, "my wife seemed to like it."

NBC's plan is to have O'Brien move west to take over for Jay Leno at the "Tonight" show next year. After a break to refurbish the Rockefeller Center studio where O'Brien now works, the 33-year-old Fallon will take over."

Anyway O'Brien rules.

I don't think he can do it......-AK47-

Same was said about Conan when he started. Let's just wait and see.

The sad thing is Conan won't be doing the same kind of show he's been doing. He'll be a lot more Lenosque.earthmonkeyyy

They won't need a laughtrack with Fallon hosting. He likes laughing at his own jokes, however feeble they are.

Yeah I was just thinking the same thing...

Nice to see Leno being the one getting kicked off but they could have chosen a MUCH BETTER replacement for Conans old show......

Oh well, Conan has always been the only wortwhile late-night host.

Conan's been doing it for 15 years. His audience is aging to the point where they're now Leno's market.
