Jimmy Fallon to Replace Conan O'Brien?
Time for Jimmy Fallon to fire up the coffeemaker again — he's returning to the late shift! According to reports, the comedian will replace Conan O'Brien in the 12:35am slot of NBC's late-night lineup. As previously announced, in May 2009 Conan is taking over for Jay Leno an hour earlier as host of The Tonight Show. An NBC spokesman hasn't confirmed the news, but Variety reports that Jimmy's appointment will be announced mid-May. Jimmy already has a great relationship with the network as he got his start on Saturday Night Live. He memorably cohosted the Weekend Update segment with Tina Fey before leaving the show in 2006 to pursue movies. The movie thing didn't work out too well — his films Taxi and Fever Pitch weren't widely received. Do you think Jimmy is a good replacement? Will you stay up late to watch him? Tell us what you think.
