….His replacement, Conan O'Brien.

Jay Leno will say goodbye to his highly rated and successful 17-year-run on late night television on May 29, when he'll hand it right over to O'Brien, his successor.

Ah, the passing of the torch. Wonder if Conan will have as good of luck as Leno?

Wait and see!

With Conan O'Brien getting ready to take over for Jay Leno on The Tonight Show starting June 1st, it seems the redheaded funnyman is working on his fitness.

On Sunday, O'Brien was spotted biking around Los Angeles with a guy pal.

But, surprisingly, the 46-year-old doesn't appear to be in such bad shape.

Check out those hairy, muscly legs.

Seksi!

After weeks of anticipation, Jimmy Fallon finally took over as host of NBC's Late Night on Monday.

And judging by the ratings, it seems all the media hype definitely helped! Or maybe it was just curiosity?

The show brought in the highest Monday ratings its received in more than three years and was up 35% from Conan O'Brien's average this season.

Watching Fallon, though, it was obvious he was nervous. Thankfully, the show went off without any major problems.

As for the competition, Fallon's debut out-rated Craig Ferguson's debut back in 2005 and even Jimmy Kimmel's back in 2003.

But will viewers tunes in even though the critics weren't so kind?

EW called it "ultra-ordinary — one liners about President Obama and the deficit that sounded like material Jay Leno's writers had faxed over from L.A."

While the Chicago Tribune said Fallon was "Sweaty, tense, uptight, nervous, wound-up, keyed up — pick an adjective."

Despite all that, what did U think of last night's premiere?

During the last few episodes of Late Night with Conan O'Brien, the talk show host took it upon himself to hand out some memorabilia to his audience.

Conan even took an axe and started chopping away at his set to hand people pieces!

But, now, you too can actually own whole items from the set, everything from furniture, to backdrops, carpet, and even prop pieces.

Build it Green!, a Queens nonprofit agency, is selling memorabilia from Conan's show.

They'll be selling the platforms that the Max Weinberg 7 played on, for sale for $200 each. And even random items like a fake brick will sell for $40.

You can also get props from Conan's crazy sketches too.

According to the org's official site, "Build It Green! NYC, is New York City's only non-profit retail outlet for salvaged and surplus building materials. Our mission is to keep these materials out of the landfill, while offering deep discounts on their resale."

Getting to own a piece of Late Night history, plus helping a non-profit?

Sounds good to us!

Good news for longtime fans of our favorite ginger!!

Conan O'Brien's former sidekick, Andy Richter, will be joining The Tonight Show as the show's new announcer once O'Brien begins as host in June!!!

Richter debuted as Conan's sidekick when Late Night premiered in 1993, but he decided to leave the show in 2000 to pursue his acting career.

As we all found out, that acting career amounted out to be a whole lot of nothing much!

"Andy is one of the funniest people I know, and we've maintained a close friendship since he left Late Night. We have a proven chemistry that will be an incredible asset to The Tonight Show," the giant ginger gushed to reporters about Richter.

We can't wait for the duo to return to network television in June!!!!

As we mentioned this weekend, the final episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien aired Friday night and was surprisingly good.

The White Stripes even took the stage as the ultimate musical guest of the show's history.

Now according to reports, it turns out that Friday's show actually got Conan his best overnight ratings in two years.

It's nice to see that after 16 years on the job, O'Brien, who originally took over back in 1993 after David Letterman left, went out with a bang!

Nielsen data shows that his last episode averaged a 2.6 overnight rating.

As for you die-hard Conan fans, no worries, you'll catch the ginger starting June 1st when he takes over the Tonight Show.

The final episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien aired Friday night and, as expected, The White Stripes took the stage as the ultimate musical guest of the show's history!

Performing We Are Going To Be Friends, the duo started off a bit rough seeing as they haven't appeared publicly since 2007, but Jack and Meg pulled it together and ended on a strong yet somber note.

We're sad to see Late Night come to an end, but we want to be the first to say welcome to Los Angeles, Coney!!

Jimmy Fallon is gearing up to prepare for the debut of his very own talk show next month.

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon set to premiere on March 2nd, and set to join Fallon on day 1 will be Robert De Niro. The actor will also be joined by Van Morrison, who'll be performing.

Producer Michael Shoemaker said "I think in the case of Robert De Niro, he had a lot of [talk show] experience and he knows Jimmy well. Jimmy has done skits with De Niro on 'Saturday Night Live' and I think [De Niro] knows Jimmy will take care of him."

What does De Niro even have to promote right now?

As for his guests the rest of the week, those will include former coworker Tina Fey, Jon Bon Jovi, Cameron Diaz, Billy Crudup, Serena Williams, Ludacris, Donald Trump, Drew Barrymore, and Mario Batali.

Unfrotunately, the only one we're interested in watching is Tina Fey.

Shoemaker adds, "These [guests] aren't going to be someone Jimmy has never met," Shoemaker says. "It really wasn't for a 'comfort level' thing - he just happens to know amazing people."

As for the show, Fallon's in-house band will be The Roots, and the announcer will be SNL alum Steve Higgins.

We're kinda thinking Jimmy will bomb. What do U think?
