Tv, Jimmy Fallon | featured news

“The Tonight Show” will begin a new era in February when Jimmy Fallon succeeds Jay Leno as host of the most storied and successful program in late-night television. NBC plans to announce on Wednesday its plan to install Mr. Fallon as the show’s sixth host at the conclusion of the network’s coverage of the 2014 Winter Olympics from Sochi, Russia. NBC also is to confirm reports that it plans to shake up the axes of the television industry by moving the show from its longtime home in Los Angeles to its birthplace, New York.

There's speculation that NBC may be looking to replace Jay Leno with the younger-skewing Jimmy Fallon; Could it be time to turn the lights out on Jay?

Reporters who cover politics and media had their undies in a bunch Wednesday over a study conducted by the Center for Media and Public Affairs announcing, “late night TV talk show comedians have told more jokes about Mitt Romney than about all Democrats combined since the party nominating conventions.”

If David Letterman and Jimmy Fallon crack wise and no one's around to laugh, are they still funny? It turns out ... yes, very! 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 Monday afternoon without audiences. (Maybe Letterman and Fallon should have tweeted their monologues, however -- thousands of East Coasters had lost power by the time the shows aired and local newscasts were providing constant storm coverage.)

As predicted in a 1998 sketch, former cast member is back as host in December 2011; like this homecoming?

GOP Presidential candidate Michele Bachmann received an apology from an NBC executive after an off-color song was played during her appearance on Jimmy Fallon's "Late Night," her spokeswoman said late Wednesday....

With Fallon s trademark off-brand humor, it s only natural to assume that each Emmy winner would end up licking their statuette for $10.

Jimmy Fallon's first spin as Late Night host scored the franchise's biggest overnight Monday ratings in three years, NBC said today.

Total viewer numbers weren't yet...

The comedian joins one of the most exclusive clubs in television on Monday night, when he becomes the third host of NBC’s “Late Night.”

If Jimmy Fallon is nervous about the premiere of his new gig as “Late Night” host, he’ll have show-biz heavyweights Robert De Niro and Van Morrison to lean on.
