JIMMY FALLON READIES TO WALK ACROSS THE HALL AND INTO INTO BEING HOST OF THE TONIGHT SHOW..............

New York native  Jimmy Fallon, the 39 year old  comedian, 'Saturday Night Live' alumnus who has hosted the 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon' show at 12:35 a.m. on NBC, for the past five years finished his last program of that broadcast Friday night /Saturday morning in concert with the Muppets and walking into a last show congratulatory party, as he prepares to take a short walk across 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City and become the successor of Jay Leno, on the venerable 60 year NBC "Tonight Show".  Fallon, will premiere as star of the,"Tonight Show", on Monday February, following the closing of the Winter Olympics.  He joins David Letterman on CBS; and Jimmy Kimmel on ABC; late night talk show ratings competition.  He will certainly appeal to the young adult audience, while expected to maintain the middle age viewers.  He inherits the host chair with the show in first place in the timeslot to build or shrink from.  Becoming the 6th Host of the, "Tonight Show", and will bring the show back to New York and the same 30 Rock studio Steve Allen, Jack Paar, and Johnny Carson originally hosted the, "Tonight Show", from 1954-1972. I found Fallon's 12:35 a.m. show to be a perfect segue way to moving into the one hour earlier broadcast and format.  I also delighted in his gratitude especially his acknowledgement of David Letterman and Paul Schaffer, who originated the. "Late Night"show in 1982, and with whom he will now go head to head at 11:35 pm R=Eastern and Pacific, 10:35 pm, Central and Mountain times, Monday through Freiday..............fr.tdp
