It appears that Jimmy Fallon will be taking over for Leno AND moving the show back to New York.  Looks like they have gotten it right.....FINALLY.  :)

I like Jimmy Fallon and I think he will do great.  I wonder what Conan thinks of it all? LOL

I saw a little brief blurb about this...but I wonder when it will take place. (I'm assuming next year.) And who would replace Jimmy on "Late Night"?

It isn't supposed to happen until 2014, unless something happens in between, so many are screaming for the change.

Conan sucked, that arrogant little wuss has to be doing the funky chicken all over town. He thought after being tossed out he would show them, didn't, and now a guy with real talent is going to do everything he probably still thinks he can do..but will never half be able to do.

I wonder how long Leno has been on?

Since 1992, but he was a frequent guest host since 1987 when it was The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson

I wonder why they aren't giving Gonad O'Btien another shot at the gig? ???

Karma for the info.

Why would they?  He sucked the first time around and the ratings tanked.  Fallon just keeps getting more and more popular.  Fallon is everything O'Brien thinks O'Brien is, but isn't.

I always liked Conan, but I never saw him as lead for the Tonight Show for some reason. I can't put my finger on it. :(

I think Conan O'Brien is pretty funny on TBS in a weird way.

Just like Letterman, Conan got the better deal.  Jimmy Fallon is getting a hand me down.  Conan was given his OWN show!

Not quite sure what this means.  Conan got canned because the ratings tanked.  He wasn't given another show, he was let out of his contract so he could go somewhere else.  His ratings still aren't up there.  He may have a faithful following, but the ratings aren't anything to brag about.

Gonad O'Brien got the consolation prize.  Hosting "The Tonigfht Show" is to talk show hosts what coaching Notre Dame is to college football.

And he did go elsewhere...to TBS, where he is currently hosting his own late-night show. I have never watched it, and I don't know what the ratings are like on that show...but for his current show to last as long as it has, it must be pretty good for now. I'd like to check it out sometime.

I did like watching Conan when he was hosting the "Late Night" show; on occasion I would stay up late to see that.

"O'Brien himself addressed the poor ratings of the show on the December 13, 2011 episode stating "If you're watching right now, you're either a huge fan or you lost the remote."

In that case, I guess I haven't missed a thing :-\\

Damn. I forgot he's been hosting that show for so long! :o

Fortunately, Jay Leno has shrunk Johnny Carson's big shoes tiny enough for Jimmy.
::)

I heard this will happen in Fall 2014.

You know you're old when you still think of Jay Leno as the guy who replaced Johnny Carson!

I almost forgot (until the beginning of this week) that this was the night he was going to premiere! And according to news reports, the viewership is pretty good so far.

News article about it here.

Yeah, I enjoyed Conan back when he was on Late Night in the 90s and 2000s.  I would look at Letterman or Leno (depending on the guests) then switch over to Conan.

Conan was much funnier than Leno.
