NBC's Late Night Succession Plan
The succession is nearly complete…
NBC is expected to announce next month that Jimmy Fallon will take over “Late Night” when Conan O’Brien moves to “The Tonight Show” in 2009.
I like Jimmy Fallon, but how will he be as the host of a late night show. Shouldn’t NBC have auditioned him as a fill-in first?
And isn’t this a bit of a slap in the face for Carson Daly? Now granted, I agree that Daly isn’t funny, but he probably at least deserved a look since he’s been doing the 1:30 a.m. show for several years.
But we’ve already established that NBC cares very little about loyalty…
What do you think? Will Jimmy Fallon make a good Conan replacement?…
