As expected, comedian
Jimmy Fallon will host
Late Night (12:30 am/ET, NBC) when
Conan O'Brien moves to the
Tonight Show in 2009.
Fox News.com reports NBC won't make the official announcement until next month, but word leaked out today about the
Saturday Night Live alum.
Fallon's late-night coronation is part of what could be a late-night TV sea change in 2009. Rumors are swirling that current
Tonight Show host
Jay Leno has been courted by other networks about launching a new nighttime talker after he steps down next year. -
