It's Official!

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????

      Thats weird. I LOVE Conan and I love Jimmy, but I don't know if I can see him hosting a talk show… Good luck to him, though. As for Carson Daly… Who cares?

      Fallon: Say it backwards…

      "How good he was in a movie" has NOTHING to do with how he will do as a "live" talk show host. On SNL, I always smelled the faint but unmistakable scent of imminent flop-sweat whenever he appeared.

      He does nothing for me, sorry. There's no funny there.

      Anyone else get the feeling all the pro-Jimmy comments were written by the same person? I think either an NBC flack or a Fallon publicist has been putting in a little overtime. I think the flack will find out it's harder than they thought to drum up real interest in this.

      This will leave Carson Daily to possibly deal with his bulimia/eating disorder?

      It really would have been nice if they chose someone FUNNY to replace him.

      I beg to differ, Perez.
      Jimmy Fallon is uber cool & I will tune into check him out - coz among things, he's an idiot and he's my boyfriend.

      Conan is an old droll stupid fart - Jimmy is a sexy young funny giggler, should make for an upgraded show!
