Fallon could be successor to Leno
LOS ANGELES – Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
NBC is finalizing its succession plans at “The Tonight Show.” Jay Leno, the longtime host, is expected to be replaced by Jimmy Fallon in 2014, people with knowledge of the plans confirmed.
This isn’t the first time NBC has tried to replace Leno. In 2009, Conan O’Brien succeeded Leno as host only to have Leno reclaim the job several months later. O’Brien now hosts a show on the TBS cable channel.
