Jimmy Fallon set to begin hosting Late Night tonight

Tonight marks the debut of Jimmy Fallon as the host of NBC "Late Night." He is the replacement to the previous host, Conan O'Brien, who is taking a break before he is set to replace Jay Leno as the host of the "Tonight Show." Jay Leno will be getting a new show called "The Jay Leno Show" that will air at 10PM on weeknights. Conan O'Brien will be replacing Jay Leno when Jay Leno ends his reign as Tonight Show host on May 29, 2009.


Late Night with Jimmy Fallon airs weeknights at 12:35AM on NBC

The Last Episode of “Late Night with Conan O'Brien” airs this Friday

The last new episode of "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" airs this Friday night (2/20) at 12:35AM on NBC. O'Brien is leaving "Late Night" to host "The Tonight Show" starting June 1^st. Jimmy Fallon will be taking over as host of "Late Night" starting on March 2^nd.

To commemorate Conan's time at "Late Night" here are four clips I grabbed off of Hulu and NBC.com:

Here's hoping he brings that brand of off-beat humor to "The Tonight Show." And now, moonwalking Conan gifs.



I wish it was June 1st.

Jay Leno is #1 Television Personality

In a recent survey, the host of NBC's "Tonight Show," Jay Leno, was ranked America's #1 favorite TV personality. This was one of the few times a non-fictional character has taken the #1 spot. The high ranking of Jay Leno may partially be due to the announcement of his new 10PM show on NBC, which begins after his 17 year reign as host of "The Tonight Show" ends. "The Tonight Show" will then be hosted by Conan O'Brien. The number 2 personality ranked in this survey is the star of the hit Fox show House, Hugh Laurie.
