NBC Announces That Jimmy Fallon Will Replace Jay Leno On ‘The Tonight Show’

Jimmy Will Take the Reigns Next Year, Production Moves to NYC

Welp, it’s official, y’all. For weeks now there has been lots of chatter going around suggesting that Jimmy Fallon would be replacing Jay Leno as the host of The Tonight Show … and just this morning, NBC confirmed the rumors as true.
