NBC has announced that they will take Jimmy Fallon under their wing by making him the next ‘Late Night’ host.

Fallon is succeeding Conan O’Brien as the host of NBC’s “Late Night” sometime in the middle of next year. NBC on Monday made official a plan that’s been talked about since 2003, when a network executive first broached the idea of doing a talk show with the former “Saturday Night Live” star.

NBC plans to have Conan head west to take over the “Tonight” show for Jay Leno next year, so don’t worry he isn’t out of a job folks.

I personally am excited to see how Fallon will do in a host job. We all know he has talent, especially in comedy thanks to SNL.

“It’s going to be a grind, it’s going to be hard, but I’m going to go at it full force,” the boyish-looking Fallon told reporters on a conference call. “The fact that I’m stepping into David Letterman and Conan O’Brien’s shoes is very exciting.”

This video right here is why late night television is hilarious, even without the writers telling them what to say. The entire fight started a few weeks ago when Conan decided to take the credit for ‘making Mike Huckabee,’ when Colbert heard this he was offended and started claiming it was the “Colbert Bump” that raised awareness of Huckabee. Jon Stewart wanted to jump into the fight and he threw some words down.

Monday night the guys all appeared on each others shows. This video I found on YouTube is obviously from Conan’s show. The fight was spectacular, a box of props and three playful imaginations. The fight was something comparable to a gladiator. Just kidding of course, these goof balls just make me laugh. I certainly loved Conan’s double punch along with the almost perfect dance moves the three bust out. Huckabee’s final message in the clip is just as awesome as the brawl, “Forget these three idiots”
