Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon is an American late-night talk show broadcast on NBC on weeknights at 12:35 am Eastern / 11:35 pm Central. Debuting on March 2, 2009, the hour-long program is hosted by Jimmy Fallon, an actor, comedian and former Saturday Night Live alumnus. The Roots serve as the house band, with Steve Higgins serving as announcer. As the third installment of the Late Night franchise created by David Letterman, the show is produced from NBC Studio 6B in the GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City. The typical format opens with a brief monologue, followed by a desk piece, as well as prerecorded segments and audience competitions. A celebrity interview follows, featuring guests ranging from actors and musicians to media personalities and political figures. The program closes with a musical performance or a comedy set. Digital media is frequently woven into the show's humor, contributing to its success. Fallon was named to assume The Tonight Show, succeeding Jay Leno at the end of the 2014 Winter Olympics, with fellow SNL alumnus Seth Meyers slated to replace Fallon.
