The intelligently irritable folks at Pajiba brought up an interview from the Howard Stern Show where it appears that Jimmy "I Crack Myself Up In Every Sketch I'm In" Fallon is being held on contract to potentially fill the Conan O'Brien footwear when Leno vacates his Tonight Show position. While no assurances are being made, the point of the contract is to keep Fallon from working for anybody else. A holding contract is an awesome thing to have, but is this really to keep Fallon from going to a competitor, or just a public service to keep him from working period. If the latter is the case, I'll chip in $5."...if NBC gives Fallon a late-night show, the network very well may be giving you cancer," quoth Pajiba, and they're right.
Anybody subjected to the torture of Taxi and Fever Pitch? I rest my case.
PS. In case you didn't know, the SNL overrated mantle has been passed to Andy Samberg, who sucks Fallon level hard. Yes, "Lazy Sunday" is goddamn stupid as hell -- the only redeeming thing he ever did was "Dick In A Box", and Timberlake makes that thing work.
