The Daily Show With Jon Stewart has won the “Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series” award at this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards.
Late Night host Jimmy Fallon hosted the ceremony this year and he did such a good job rumours are suggesting he’s being lined up to host the Academy Awards early next year.
Late Night host Jimmy Fallon has been named as the Webby Person Of The Year at the Webby Awards.
They say they’re “excited to honor Jimmy Fallon with the Webby Person of the Year Award in recognition of his enthusiastic embrace of the Internet to connect with his fans. With his “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” blog and Twitter feed, Jimmy Fallon is one of celebrities and TV personalities most actively engaging with his audience online”.
Jimmy will attend the ceremony on the 8th June in New York City to pick up his award.
Several US talk show hosts were featured on a new episode of Family Guy which premiered in America on the 3rd May.
They appeared as part of a scene talking about a relationship between Brian and Lauren Conrad (from MTV’s The Hills) on the show, and how it’s being reported on TV.
Jimmy Fallon, Craig Ferguson and Jay Leno were featured with specially-made clips from the real life talk shows.
Jimmy Fallon was a guest on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno on Wednesday night. The host of Late Night stopped by for a chat with Leno to talk about how he’s settling in to his new show, and to also provide some comedic music in the form of a “spitting” song.

Jimmy Fallon will be interviewed on the Wednesday 29th April edition of The Tonight Show With Jay Leno. The host of Late Night With Jimmy Fallon will stop by for a chat with Jay about how he’s settling in to his new job, which he started in March.
Following weeks of webisodes on the official website, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon starts on NBC tomorrow night and Jimmy’s been talking about how he feels about starting the new gig and what the show’s going to feel like.
On USA Today’s website he says “The only pressure is on me. Can we do a good show? The set is amazing. The band is amazing. If it works, it goes for years. People make a big deal about the first show, but I’m barely concerned about that. They should talk about it a year from now”.
Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’s home is the old studio of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson – Studio 6B in the GE Building at 30 Rockfeller Plaza, New York City. The show’s “going green” – reusing the old seating from Radio City Music Hall for the audience area.
Jimmy says “I’ve grown up since Saturday Night Live, but I like talking to people… I was nervous and excited and anxious. Now, I’m just excited… I gave the set guy a three-page Word document. I got everything. I wanted the Radio City seats. I wanted rafters in the back that the kids can dance on. I wanted a spiral staircase because I love spiral staircases, so I got one of those”.
Late Night With Jimmy Fallon premieres on NBC tomorrow night at 12.35am with guests Robert De Niro, Justin Timberlake and Van Morrison.

Jimmy Fallon will take over Late Night on the 2nd March. Jimmy has been getting himself ready to take up the job from Conan O’Brien over the last few months. The Chicago Tribune reports Jimmy has said “it will follow the standard talk-show format: monologue, desk comedy bit, two guests and a band… it’s 80 percent there… there will be no sidekick”. It’s also revealed “a bandleader has been chosen, but Fallon won’t say who” but he says “it’s amazing”. The show will be taped at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York.
The Chicago Tribune says Jimmy’s “watched DVDs of old Johnny Carson shows on a loop, and studied the likes of Dick Cavett, Mike Douglas, Steve Allen, Jack Paar and even Garry Shandling’s fictitious Larry Sanders… he has picked Leno’s brain, plans to dine with O’Brien this week and hopes to chat with Letterman soon”. A special blog for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon will be added to NBC’s website in December to show the behind-the-scenes things going on in preparation for the show launch. Conan takes over from Jay Leno on The Tonight Show on the 1st June 2009.

It’s been a known fact for some time now that Conan O’Brien will be taking over the reigns of The Tonight Show from current host Jay Leno in 2009. Conan O’Brien is rumoured to be finishing up Late Night With Conan O’Brien at the end of February to give him sometime to get ready for taking up The Tonight Show on the 1st June 2009. Jay Leno’s final episode of The Tonight Show will air on the 29th May 2009.
On media website Advertising Age they report Rick Ludwin from NBC Entertainment says “we hope to add from perhaps the younger part of the demographic that maybe isn’t watching late night at the moment”. Advertising Age also report “to get the word out about his ascent to “Tonight,” according to people familiar with the situation, NBC has discussed plans to send him on a cross-country tour of sorts, posting video on the web to tout the comedian’s antics, according to media buyers”. The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien is tipped to be more “edgier” than Jay Leno’s show. The new show will probably keep similar aspects to Conan’s current Late Night show – with wacky segments and “coarser” comedy.
So there’s only a few months to go before the last ever Late Night With Conan O’Brien – Jimmy Fallon will take over Conan’s Late Night show when he leaves. Jimmy could start doing Late Night in March or he could wait until Conan starts The Tonight Show in June. It’s rumoured Jimmy may start Late Night before Conan starts TTS so he can build up some viewership beforehand.

The Tonight Show With Jay Leno will end on Friday 29th May 2009 and Conan O’Brien will start new shows on the following Monday – 1st June 2009 – according to The Associated Press. The AP also say “what happens to deposed host Jay Leno after that is anybody’s guess”. Jimmy Fallon will probably take over Late Night in March/April 2009 to give him time to settle in before Conan starts on The Tonight Show.
Jimmy Fallon was a guest on Late Night With Conan O’Brien on Monday – the show that Fallon will host from next year when Conan moves to The Tonight Show.
This edition of Late Night will go out on CNBC tonight at 8.45pm.
NBC last night announced that Jimmy Fallon will be the new host of Late Night when Conan O’Brien takes over at the Tonight Show next year.
Fallon joined NBC in 1998 on Saturday Night Live and went on to “co-anchor” the Weekend Update spot with Tina Fey two years later. The former MTV awards host also guest presented the Late Show in 2003. The announcement appears to put to bed rumours that NBC might be thinking about keeping Leno on as host of the Tonight Show.
