NEW HOST’S FIRST WEEK IS LOTS OF FUN, BUT WITH FEW NEW ASPECTS

Jimmy Fallon brings the historic “Tonight Show” franchise back to New York City with a star-studded first week (February 17-21) of guests on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.”

Jimmy Fallon will open his run as the host of NBC’s “Tonight” show with actor Will Smith and the rock band U2 as guests.

On February 17, Jimmy Fallon will take over “The Tonight Show” and NBC has revealed the first promo for the show.

NBC made it official today! Jimmy Fallon will replace Jay Leno on “The Tonight Show” in Spring 2014.

If you love musical meta-commentary on late-night hosting decisions, you’ll perhaps be amused by this clip of Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon singing about the non-stop media speculation regarding “Tonight Show” hosting duties.

Amidst a tense few days of swirling rumors that Jimmy Fallon will soon grab the reins of NBC’s THE TONIGHT SHOW from long-time host Jay Leno, today’s New York Post adds a bit more fuel to the fire. The paper reports that Saturday Night Live head writer and host of ‘Weekend Update’ Seth Meyers is poised to move into Fallon’s soon-to-be vacated late night slot.

With a massive storm approaching and New Yorkers being either evacuated or encouraged to stay in their homes, the Late Show and Late Night taped this afternoon without audiences.
