It's been a rumor fo some time, but now it's official: Seth Meyers will replace Jimmy Fallon as the host of NBC's 'Late Night' next year.
For weeks, even months now we've heard the buzzing rumors all-but-confirming that Jimmy Fallon would take over NBC's 'Tonight Show' from Jay Leno, with 'SNL' vet Seth Meyers likely to replace Fallon as the host of NBC's 'Late Night.' Leno and Fallon even collaboratively joked about the transition on April Fools, but has Jimmy Fallon's 'Tonight Show' takeover been officially confirmed? Hear the latest chatter inside!
For as much as we've enjoyed Conan O'Brien's role as the host of his own TBS show 'Conan,' Jimmy Fallon's increasingly strong work on 'Late Night,' and even Jay Leno's seemingly peaceful return to 'The Tonight Show,' a new storm on the late-night front might be brewing. Some sources are saying that NBC executives have quietly begun searching for Fallon's replacement, in which case Fallon would take over for Leno as host of 'The Tonight Show' in the next few years. Is there any truth to the rumor?
The sports world is fervent with "Linsanity" after a nobody from the New York Knicks bench became a star player virtually overnight. The phenom caught the attention of Jimmy Fallon, who threw on his best early 90's Eddie Vedder attire to turn Pearl Jam's 'Jeremy' into a tribute called 'Jeremy (Lin).'
It's Pink Floyd week on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon', and last night Foo Fighters were on hand to cover 'The Wall' classic 'In the Flesh' with a little help from Roger Waters.
It's Pink Floyd week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, all week artists including Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, and The Shins will drop by to tackle Floyd classics like 'Mother' and "Breathe'.
Just before Pearl Jam debuted their new song 'Olé' on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon', Eddie Vedder joined the host in singing his anti-pollution protest tune -- 'Balls in Your Mouth'.
It was surprising that Pearl Jam didn't debut anything from their new album at their 20th anniversary birthday bash (PJ20) last weekend -- apparently they were saving it for Jimmy Fallon. Check out the video of the band battle testing their new rocker 'Olé' -- and then download the studio version for free.
With a weekend music festival, Canadian tour, movie, soundtrack, and new record all in the works from Pearl Jam, you would think they would be all booked up for the next 3 months. Somehow they have found time to pencil in a two night stand on 'Late Night with Jimmy Fallon' ahead of their 'Pearl Jam Twenty' doc's release in September.
I'm still pissed that I missed watching Zakk Wylde jam with The Roots on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night. If you missed out also, I was able to dig up a couple of videos of the event that you can watch right here.
Zakk Wylde has been showing up on the small screen a hell of a lot lately with appearances on American Idol, Lopez Tonight, and he even rallied fans to vote for him to join the cast for the latest season of Dancing with the Stars. "What's his next stop?" you ask; Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
