Jimmy Fallon New ‘Late Night’ Host

As Jimmy Fallon prepared to debut as host of NBC’s “Late Night,” he found his predecessor, Conan O’Brien, in his dressing room, still packing up.

“I’m about to start my first show,” Fallon told him eagerly. “Oh, is that tonight?” O’Brien replied. “I was gonna TiVo it, or something.

Jimmy Fallon had Robert DeNiro and Justin Timberlake as his first guests. Fallon did his De Niro impression and got De Niro to do a Jimmy Fallon impression. Then they appeared in a sketch together. Justin Timberlake came on next and plugged a new reality series with a film clip that seemed like yet another spoof, but is actually for real. Finishing up was Van Morrison, who performed a song amid a huge band of his own.

I saw Jimmy Fallon 7 years ago (when he was on top) on Sunset Blvd. He walked past me quickly on the street. I said “Hey Jimmy”. When I looked at him, he was in a sweat, greesy hair, and was grinding his teeth profusely. One would assume he was on cystal Meth or cocaine and was walking down the street trying to “score” more drugs. Let’s hope he got his monkeys in order.
