NBC Names Jimmy Fallon to Succeed Conan O’Brien on ‘Late Night’ - New York Times

HORATIO SANZ SITS PATIENTLY BY HIS PHONE: Once described as a "dime store mimbo" by The New Republic, NBC will announce Jimmy Fallon's ascension to the Late Night chair in a press conference on Monday.

Former SNL co-star Tracy Morgan once said of Fallon, "Laughing and all that dumb s--t he used to do — he wouldn't mess with me because I didn't f---ing play that s--t. That's taking all the attention off of everybody else and putting it on you, like, Oh, look at me, I'm the cute one. I told him not to do that s--t in my sketches, so he never did."
