NEW YORK (AP) - Jimmy Fallon is now officially part of NBC's
"Late Night" plans.
The network has named Fallon the successor to Conan O'Brien, who
next year moves west to take over from Jay Leno at the "Tonight"
show.
Giving Fallon a shot completes a plan that's been talked about
since 2003, when a network executive first broached the idea of
doing a talk show with the former "Saturday Night Live" star.
Fallon jokes he's been doing a monologue in his living room the
last three years.
Fallon is expected to move into the Rockefeller Center studio in
New York where O'Brien now works next year, once it's refurbished
following O'Brien's departure.
