Hopefully Jimmy can keep a straight face and not crack up all the time like he did on SNL. I remember Chevy Chase could never keep a straight face when he tried the late night hosting biz, and that didn't go very well at all.

Jimmy Fallon's Late Night lands its first guests
Posted by Patrick Sauriol on Thursday, February 19, 2009
Tomorrow is the final day for Conan O'Brien as the host for NBC's Late Night. After 16 years of following up after Jay Leno and going one-on-one with the show's former host, David Letterman, O'Brien is set to relinquish the reins to ex-SNL star Jimmy Fallon when the latter comedian takes over on March 2.
The Hollywood Reporter states that Fallon's first guest on Late Night is someone with heavy cred in the entertainment circuit, a good move on the new Late Night's producers to ensure people turn in to see how Fallon does. Fallon's first guest on his debut night will be Mr. Raging Bull himself, Robert De Niro, and the musical guest for the evening will be Van Morrison. An interesting choice picking two old school guys, wouldn't you say?
NBC has also revealed that Late Night guests scheduled to come on later in Fallon's first week as host include Donald Trump, Tina Fey, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Jon Bon Jovi and tennis great Serena Williams.
Oh God. I hate Jimmy Fallon. The dude is just annoying and not funny. I love Conan so I don't think I can even stomach to watch Late Night now that Fallon is hosting it. I wonder how much Conan is going to tone down the goofy stuff now that he'll be hosting the Tonight Show...

Good for him. I wish Jerry Seinfeld would take over for someone, maybe Letterman. I miss that dude, his sitcom is a staple still in my house.
