Fallon to Replace Conan as Late Night Host
Fox News' Roger Friedman writes:
There's much debate about letting Leno leave NBC etc., but right now let's just concentrate on Jimmy. He's the perfect successor to Conan and should have just as big an audience when he takes the reins. Fallon is one of those great underrated performers. This should be the right milieu for him.
Fallon, who recently married producer Nancy Juvonen, is said to be thrilled and ready, if not a little scared, about taking Conan's desk. He still has to pick a producer and a band, among other things.

Im all for Conan taking the head spot in late nights (if anything, its been long overdue), but to replace him with a no-talent hack is an insult. I always thought that Carson Daily was supposed take over Conan's spot...I guess he got the shaft.
i think he'll be a good host. Conan isn't exactly the most serious comic on the planet, i love him but hes still a goof, and i think fallon will fit in well.
