Does this sound familiar?

Jimmy Fallon, ‘Tonight Show’ host? NBC considers another succession plan - Zap2it

    A lot can happen in two years, Joe, but yes. it is very familiar!! I like Jay, Jimmy, and Conan. They all have their places in my humor need <3.

    What were they expecting with this. It reminds me of a WWE skit... lol
    Conan O'Brien would take over for Leno in 2009. He did, briefly, only to suffer meager ratings -- possibly due in part to the network's scheduling of the prime-time "Jay Leno Show" at 10 p.m. that fall -- and one of the uglier showbiz exits in recent memory.

    I have the perfect replacement host for the Tonite Show...

    Gilbert Gottfried :p


    If you're going to go down in flames, NBC...you may as well make it a total disaster...:rolleyes:

    Or like the joke Louis CK was doing on his show...actually give it to Louie!
    (David Lynch not included in this deal)

        Doesn't every actor/TV personality/politician?

        They're all clean, lol.

    Can they just run Johnny Carson reruns for the next 30 years?

      They might do better. At least Johnny had the confidence to have a guest host do his show if he was not going to be on - he knew he was the king, but allowing others to see what it was like was refreshing, and sometimes a disaster...but it made things interesting from time to time -

      And at least when the did show reruns they were 'classics', and not some pointless rerun from just a few weeks ago...

      Jay and Dave both got their shots that way (Rivers too, disastrously)- but they don't give the desk away like Carson. (Letterman had Bruce Willis fill in while he was in the hospital, but I don't think he was too worried Bruce would give up his current gig to host a talk show...:p)

      Jay lost it after the show swap and never got "it" back (if he ever had it) - it's well known he doesn't need the money and has a lot of other things to do, I wonder what keeps him tied to the show -

    Fallon isn't ready. Let him leave if need be.

      I'm skeptical myself. Fallon is a highly talented witty entertainer but is it good for him to be jumping into a different template, so to speak?

        I like Jimmy Fallon, but in a talk-show setting, he seems slightly uncomfortable/unsure of himself. From my point of view anyway...

          I mean as a performer. As a producer, I have no idea. I don't even have a TV.
