Jimmy Fallon is taking over for Conan O'Brien next year on Late Night, when the ginger-haired comedian replaces Jay Leno on The Tonight Show.

The Saturday Night Live alum should easily appeal to the college dudes that watch O'Brien, but…

Will he bring in new viewers????

Unlikely!

And, where does this all leave Carson Daly????

    I like Carson Daly, actually, but maybe they just wanted to keep the humor the same? I think that Carson's too jaded and sarcastic. He approaches everything so negatively, which is what I like, but I'm pretty sure most of the American population doesn't. He's not exactly a bright, goofy presence like Conan.

    I don't like Jimmy, but his manic style is so similar to Conan's, I'm almost positive that they just wanted to make the change as painless for the viewers as possible.

    I wouldn't watch it, he's funny but not that appealing outside of SNL.
    Obama has taken over the lead in every count, when will Perez concede?

    Carson Daly blows! Jimmy Fallon does too, just not as much… Either way, "Late Night" is taking a step back here. Oh and I hope Leno's writers are fired :D

  26. I can't wait!! says – reply to this
    26

    Carson Daly…are you serious….he is not a comedian, a hyped up radio host…..For a late night talk sho, it is typically a comedian that makes the cut. Everyone in Hollywodd, with 1/16th of a brain knows that….come on Pigez, I knew you were stupid, but come on already. The only reason you mentioned Carson is because he like to let you suck his anus and mentions your name…cuz he is a fellow ass sucker….Jimmy will rock it out and MAny…will tune in to watch his charm and wit take over late night…

    Re: Lyzz – FYI
    "A Night at the Roxbury" is not one of Jimmy Fallon's movies that was Chris Kattan. They were both on Saturday Night Live, maybe thats where you got confused.

    Re: Lyzz – he wasnt in that movie. and who cares if he had a hit movie anyway? he was on snl and that is like the highest level of acting in my opinion.

  33. Lauren says – reply to this
    33

    Am I the only one who just can't stand Conan? In order to be a successful, long-term, late night talkshow host you need to remember one thing: THE GUEST COMES FIRST. Conan is so wrapped up tino getting the laugh, he'll do or say anything to get there. It's all about him. The franchise is practically dead anyway…

  34. cee cee says – reply to this

    Here's one extra viewer that Conan did not have - I will stay up to watch Jimmy! Hey Jimmy, please do some of your music and impersonations, because they are the BEST.

    YOU DOG SMELLING MOTHER FUCKERS ARE THE SICKEST PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD. I COME TO THE SITE JUST TO READ THE RACIST ASS COMMENTS BEING PASSED AROUND. THERE ISN'T MUCH YOU GUYS CAN SAY ABOUT BLACKS EXCEPT THEY'RE LOUD AND GHETTO……BUT YOU GUYS YUCK……….HOW COULD GOD HAVE CREATED SUCH THINGS; YOU FUCK YOUR OWN FAMILY MEMBERS; WTF.; HOLD THEM HOSTAGE FOR YEARS AT A TIME; EAT OTHER PEOPLES BODY PARTS; ENSLAVE OTHER HUMAN BEINGS; INVADE COUNTRIES AND RAPE AND TORTURE THEIR WOMEN AND KIDS.; CORRUPT YOUR OWN COUNTRY; DRINKING AND DRIVING WHILE PREGNANT;YOU SMELL LIKE WET DOGS; MOSTS OF YOUR FATHERS FUCKED U BY THE TIME YOU WERE 5.; GOD HAS NO RESPECT FOR THIS RACE; HOW COULD HE; I REALLY THINK THIS RACE WAS MADE BY THE DEVIL AND NOT GOD…………U WILL NEVER SEE ANOTHER RACE LIKE THIS; I SWEAR I HATE WHITE PEOPLE

    Conan never appealed to me, but Jimmy Fallon does. I will definitely tune in to give him a shot!

    They should keep Conan O'Brien where he is and bring back Arsenio Hall and hire him as host of the Tonight Show. Then the circle is complete and the Justice of the Unicorn is preserved. Remember, Arsenio on Fox was the main reason Johnny Carson had to go and Leno got picked up. Besides, Conan isn't funny and Fallon is more shotgun than driver.

  39. robin says – reply to this

    I think Jay Leno is scamming us. He will never give up the tonight show as long as the ratings are good and he is making money. I don't look for him to leave the show.

    I love Jimmy Fallon as a comic actor - loved fever pitch - but when he sub'd for David Letterman he sucked out loud as a late nite host.

    Taking Jay off is going to cost NBC lots of money. For one thing my Tivor season pas is done the day that ugly red head steps on the stage. he onl;y appeals to young males. I hope NBC goes bankrupt

    Fallon is an idiot. The show will fail with him involved,

    Carson Daly reminds me of the doughy frat boys I used to kick the shit out of in college. The 10 yr olds that watched MTV ten years ago and made this guy a "star" are no mature enought to see that he IS nothing more than a doughy frat boy.

    Jimmy Fallon is just NOT funny.
    Never did like him.
    Tries too hard, and doesn't pull it off.

    That's a shame. Good for Conan but bad for anyone that may have tuned into the show after he splits. This guy isn't funny. He was pathetic on snl and his movies sucked. Geez, who's going to lead the band… Horatio Sands? I won't be tuning in. Carson Daily is horrible, too.

    Re: WHITE PEOPLE ARE STUPID REDNECK FUCKS WHO GETS FUCKED BY THEIR FATHERS WHILE THEIR MOTHERS WATCH – U R sooo lame, I could say alot more about blacks than that, such as: they smell like shit, they hair so greasy U could use it 2 grease the wheels, they steal, they smoke crack, and so on. But I won't cuz I LOVE black people! Oh that reminds me of a joke….

    -Why do black people always have sex on they mind?

    -cuz they have pubic hair on they head! LOL

    carson sould get back w/ Tara Reid, they iz both loser hasbeens that would make momentarily hot children that would also become ugly hasbeens like they parents. I can't say enough bad thingz about Mr.HIV carson daily, I hate him so much I keep the "c" in his cheap name lower case. I hope he gets beaten & eaten 2 death by monkeys, or I hope he drowns in paint, or I hope he gets injected w/ gasoline! I ♥ Ya Perez! See U in the showers @ the YMCA Perez!

    WHOA!!! EASY THERE TIGER! MAKE SOME SWEEPING STATEMENTS WHY DONTCHA!!!! WHILST I AM ONLY HALF WHITE AND AGREE WITH SOME OF YOUR COMMENTS YOU ARE COMING OVER ALL MAD AND IDIOTIC!! NOT TO MENTION RACIST YOURSELF. YOU NEED TO CALM THE FUCK DOWN AND MAKE YOUR COMMENTS IN A DIGNIFIED AND EDUCATED WAY.
    I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU BUT GOD HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH WHETHER BLACKS OR WHITES OR ASIANS ARE RAPING THEIR KIDS OR EATING EACH OTHER. THERE IS NO GOD AND ANY EDUCATED INTELLIGENT PERSON KNOWS THAT. THERE ARE DANGEROUS AND VILE PEOPLE IN EVERY RACE - YOU THINK BLACKS DON'T SEXUALLY ABUSE???? WHAT ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED TO OPRAH AND MANY, MANY MORE?

    I dont think Fallon is funny at all. He seems akward at times, constantly sweating cause of his nervouness. I hate to say this, but it's not going to work, the ratings will plummet fast. He has not done anything funny in ages, gives the job to a female, why does it always have to be a late nite male host. Jimmy will not work for this.

    No WAY! Jimmy has the personality of wet paint drying! Just because he was good actor in a few movies DOES NOT mean he could hold daily intelligent comedy banter with celebrities.!!!! WRONG CHOICE! I would not want carson either! we need NEW late night talent! I like conan but he is not going to translate well with the overall late night viewers in the one hour earlier time-slot. 2 different demographics that watch his show vs. the tonight show. it's gonna be all fucked up when Leno leaves ……

    It's bad enough we're getting Conan to replace Jay but surely to mercy he's not dragging that lame band he's got with him….Max Weinberg and the Max Weinberg 7….omg…. no no no….please no.
