| Jimmy Fallon |
According to the NY Post, the new host — who debuts tonight — looked tense and preoccupied as he walked his dog outside his Gramercy Park pad Sunday.
Asked if he’d be doing one of his favorite bits, “Slow-Jam The News’’ — in which he sets dry current events to a groovy Barry White-esque beat — on his new show, the uncharacteristically stoic star said only, “We’ll do something fun.”
Among Fallon’s first guests Monday will be movie star Will Smith and U2.
The “Saturday Night Live’’ alum will host the show from NBC’s Studio 6B at 30 Rockefeller Center.
In taking his seat behind the “Tonight Show” desk, Fallon will be occupying a comedic throne previously held by legends such as Johnny Carson, Jack Paar and Steve Allen.
He moved the show back to New York roots 42 years after Johnny Carson took it to Burbank, Calif.
The show will premiere Monday with a later-than-usual midnight start, thanks to the network’s Olympics coverage.
Just got home from rehearsals - U2 are going to blow people away. Can't wait.
