Jimmy Fallon Gets The Tonight Show In 2014 - In New York

It would be kind of cool for The Tonight Show to move back to its New York roots, and that move would also probably mean that Jay Leno could not try and do a repeat and grab the show for himself if Jimmy Fallon;s ratings suck. A couple of weeks ago I posted that Jimmy was going to get the Tonight Show, but that Jay Leno was not voluntarily stepping down from his gig. This is going to be even more nasty than the Conan one because at least in the beginning of that mess, Jay acted like he was going to leave and take that earlier time slot and if people had actually watched Jay at his earlier hour, we may not be having this discussion. But, we are. When The NY Times says something is going to happen, it usually does. If NBC sticks to its guns and to Jimmy Fallon then everything should be fine, but if they throw him under a bus at the first sign of trouble, then they will have ruined another great show on their network.
