Person close to talks: NBC installing Jimmy Fallon on ‘Late Night’
By Behind The Scenes TV on May 12, 2008 in TV, TV Shows
Jimmy Fallon will officially be given the keys to NBC’s “Late Night” franchise following Conan O’Brien’s exit.
A person close to the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement hadn’t been made confirmed the widely rumored change Sunday and said a news conference was planned for Monday.
All that’s left is an official date for NBC’s transition: O’Brien moving out West to take over for Jay Leno on the “Tonight” show and Fallon following in the next time slot.
