Seth Meyers To Take Over ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’; Carson Daly Still Just Doing The Same Thing

Wookie Johnson — Mon, 13 May 2013 12:10:58 +0000

With Jay Leno leaving The Tonight Show for real this time and Jimmy Fallon taking over those hosting duties, NBC has confirmed suspicions that Seth Meyers will replace Fallon as Late Night host. “It always seemed like a logical next move,” says the SNL veteran and Weekend Update host. “It was just competing with the very emotional idea of leaving a place I have been for a very long time. But if you are going to do that, it seems like you might as well just move a hallway or two.” Makes sense. He probably won’t even need to hire movers.

Meyers will wrap up SNL’s fall season before moving to Late Night this winter, and then probably return to SNL when Leno decides he’s not giving up The Tonight Show after all. (NY Times)

Jimmy Fallon Sued For Being Too Straight

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

A former stage manager on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" is suing the show and host for sexual discrimination. But not the sexy Bill O’Reilly kind. The other kind where Fallon didn’t want to be groped by men. What a jerk he is.

Paul Tarascio of Oradell has filed the complaint with the U.S. Equal Opportunity Employment Commission and the New York Division of Human Rights. He claims he got demoted and then fired from his job on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” because, he was told, “Jimmy just prefers to take direction from a woman,” his lawyer tells us. The complaint also alleges that Fallon wanted only female technicians to place microphones on him, and only after a succession of women weren’t up to the task, he allowed a man, someone he’d worked with previously, to do the job.

When reached for comment, Fallon tried to tell a joke but giggled uncontrollably and nervously played with his hair. That’s what we get for hiring Horatio Sanz as our field reporter. (Warming Glow)

NBC Honors Black History Month Via Its Stomach

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

NBC must rrrreeeaaaallllllyyyyyy love the legal process. Not only did they just pay out $44 million to Conan O’Brien, but they also were just sued for stealing the font used in their logo redesign. Now their cafeteria is caught with its racist pants down. Or up. I don’t know how racists wear their pants.

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and The Roots drummer Questlove tweeted the above picture today along with the comment "Hmm, HR?"

An NBC publicist replied, "The sign in the NBCU cafeteria has been removed. We apologize for anyone who was offended by it."

This of course has rightfully drawn a lot of offense. Many black people were bewildered when they laid eyes upon the controversial menu. In fact, most were overheard exclaiming, "$7.50?!!" (THR)

Jimmy Fallon Goes Totally 80s

Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000

Last night on his late night show, Jimmy Fallon welcomed famed WWF wrestler Hulk Hogan and pop song parody master Weird Al Yankovic. As proof we’re not lying, watch Weird Al sing his classic Good Old Days:

Well we here at Screen Junkies felt like we had slipped into a time warp and been dragged back to simpler times, when songs with different lyrics made us laugh, and wrestling seemed as real as the hope we had for our futures. We cherished those days. We’d like more than anything to relive them. So we did the next best thing, and imagined an entire week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with guests who influenced last century’s forgotten decade – the 80s.

Zack Morris on ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’

Reza F. — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 18:58:32 +0000

Kudos to you, Mar Paul Gosselaar, for being able to make fun of yourself. Kudos, to you, sir! Last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Mark Paul Gosselaar, currently starring in "Raising the Bar" on TNT, showed up in full "Saved By the Bell" Zach Morris regalia, and did a classic Zach Morris direct-address to camera. It was kind of uncanny how much he can still pull off Bayside High’s coolest student ever. The phone you coul choke a horse with played no small part in selling it. Say what you want about Jimmy Fallon as a host. He’s still finding his legs. But you can’t deny he and his team of writers – including head staffer A.D. Miles from "The State" – are coming up with some material that rivals Conan’s Late Night crew.
