"In my kindergarten yearbook, they wrote 'Most Likely To Take Over For David Letterman,'" he said.Exactly when Fallon will make his debut next year is still up in the air, and appears to be hinged on where Jay Leno lands after the Tonight Show.

Other Networks Vying for Jay Leno's Attention | Today's News: Our Take | 2/27/2008
Conan O'Brien might be taking over The Tonight Show in 2009, but that doesn't mean you'll never see Jay Leno's chin on late-night again. In fact, the New York Times reports that Leno, who continues to reign as champion of late-night ratings, is already in the crosshairs of execs at ABC, Fox and Sony Pictures Television, even though they can't officially negotiate with him until November '09.
