Fallon Replaces Conan
NEW YORK — Jimmy Fallon will officially be given the keys to NBC's "Late Night" franchise following Conan O'Brien's exit.
A person close to the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity because the announcement hadn't been made confirmed the widely rumored change Sunday and said a news conference was planned for Monday.
All that's left is an official date for NBC's transition: O'Brien moving out West to take over for Jay Leno on the "Tonight" show and Fallon following in the next time slot.
Fallon was a "Saturday Night Live" cast member before leaving for a movie career in 2004. He has had mixed success, with his most notable role as a childlike Boston Red Sox fan and Drew Barrymore's paramour in "Fever Pitch."
He signed a deal with NBC in 2007 that was widely seen as a way to keep him in the fold until the time came for Monday's announcement.
It would be hard for him to have a rockier transition than O'Brien had when he took over from David Letterman in the mid-1990s. O'Brien was a writer with a quick sense of humor but a mystery to the television audience, and he was savaged in early reviews. NBC nearly fired him but persevered, and O'Brien grew into the role.
It was in large part to keep O'Brien happy that NBC announced four years ago that he would replace Leno next year.
While Leno went along with the plan, there are reports that the workaholic comic is not eager to leave. NBC Universal is trying to find a job that would satisfy him and avoid having Leno move to ABC or Fox to compete directly against O'Brien.
NBC could decide to back out of the plan and keep Leno on "Tonight," but O'Brien's contract calls for a penalty fee reportedly close to $40 million.
It all amounts to a roll of the dice in late-night, where NBC has stayed on top despite the network's prime-time problems.
NBC's announcement opens network television's "upfront" week, when fall schedules are set and presented to advertisers. NBC took the unusual step of announcing its schedule a month ago, and it has invited advertisers for a Monday sales presentation emphasizing all of NBC Universal's properties.

Jimmy Fallon To Replace Conan O'Brien Next Year
Sources close to "Late Night" on NBC insist that Jimmy Fallon has been offered and has agreed to take over "Late Night" after Conan O'Brien moves out West to take over "The Tonight Show" next year. Official word will be released on Monday from NBC.
I liked Fallon on SNL, but I always saw him as more of a talk show host, so I'm looking forward to what he has to offer to "Late Night." Sources close to "Late Night" on NBC insist that Jimmy Fallon has been offered and has agreed to take over "Late Night" after Conan O'... more -

Radiohead telecommute to play Conan, saving CO2
Last year, Radiohead bucked tradition by debuting their new album via web-only download, saving on paper and plastic. Last week, Thom Yorke and his Oxford band mates appeared on Conan's "green" show from home, saving as much CO2 as a car produces in a year, Yorke said. (But it's probably more than that, especially if Radiohead zip around in their own jet.) Yorke, who has been campaigning for bigger, binding carbon cuts in the EU, dedicates the song, "House of Cards," with its "denial, denial" chorus, to that "tw-t who walked away from the Kyoto agreement. What was his name again? He's history anyway." Ouch.
Of course, this isn't the future of live concerts -- and it's about time the band emerged from the basement. But for late night talk shows, where musical acts are shot for a TV audience anyway, Radiohead is on to something.
Billboard just put the band in the no. 8 spot on its "Green Ten" list, behind Dave Matthews (on whose label Radiohead now appears), and Jack Johnson Last year, Radiohead bucked tradition by debuting their new album via web-only download, saving on paper and plastic. Last week, Thom ... more -
Jimmy Fallon to Replace Conan O'brien as Late Night Host.
I love Conan O'brien, I think Jimmy Fallon will never be able to fill his shoes. A terrible move made my NBC, in my opinion.

Jimmy Fallon replacing Conan? For reals this time?
Could it finally be true? Is NBC just inches from officially announcing Fallon as O'Brien's permanent replacement? This rumor has been floating around for quite some time (even pushed by Fallon himself once, on Howard Stern's radio show), so we'll have to wait and see what happens. NBC seems to like Fallon; he filled in for Letterman a while back, and I'm sure NBC wants to make an announcement way ahead of time so there are no controversies. Could it finally be true? Is NBC just inches from officially announcing Fallon as O'Brien's permanent replacement? This rumor has be... more
