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.”
