Jimmy Fallon for Late Night Laughs

Jimmy Fallon for Late Night Laughs

Rumors had been flying since last July that Jimmy Fallon was a front runner to take over Conan O’Brien‘s ‘Late Night,’ and now according to reports, the deal is sealed.

NBC will reportedly make the formal announcement about Jimmy around May 11 or 12, when the network presents the fall 2008 schedule to advertisers here in New York, sources tell Fox News.

Last December, Jimmy, 33, married movie producer Nancy Juvonen in the Caribbean.

Conan O’Brien will be taking over for Jay Leno, who will leave the “Tonight” show in May 2009 as part of a forced retirement.

leno rocks – conan rocks.

i’ll just watch conan then go to sleep, or switch to kimmel. fallon’s not funny. there’s nothing funny about someone acting like a doof over and over again.

for years people will be forced to see him play the same character he did in taxi, since he plays that character in everything he does.

oh no, jimmy f is’nt funny at all. neither is jimmy kimmel. At least Conan’s still around.

Thumb up Thumb down 0

No. I will not watch. I’ve seen him sub for other talk shows and they sucked. He’s wears thin after five, ten minutes. How many nights would anyone watch his har, har, har giggling at his self?

Craig Ferguson must be partying now. He’ll kick his ass.
