Jimmy Fallon on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" Jimmy Fallon Pictures Jimmy Fallon stars as the host of NBC's talk show, "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon." Long a renowned comic talent, Jimmy Fallon's ability to deliver versatile, stand-out performances on the screen has allowed him to join the exclusive ranks as one of the "Saturday Night Live" alumni at the forefront of a diverse line-up of television and film projects, while always staying grounded in his stand-up roots. Most recently, NBC named Jimmy Fallon as the replacement for Conan O'Brien on "Late Night" out of New York City. The show, which will serve as a platform for comedy, music and A-list talent to promote their upcoming projects, is being executive produced by Lorne Michaels and will premiere on March 2, 2009. Jimmy Fallon first garnered attention in 1998 when he joined the cast of "Saturday Night Live" and quickly became an audience favorite for his impressions of Jerry Seinfeld, John Travolta, Adam Sandler and spot-on musical impressions of Justin Timberlake, Jack White and Enrique Iglesias. Jimmy Fallon created many memorable recurring characters on "SNL" including "Nick Burns" the sarcastic tech support representative, rowdy Boston teen "Sully" known for playing tonsil hockey with "Denise" played by Rachel Dratch, and the explosive "Barry Gibb" opposite Justin Timberlake in "The Barry Gibb Talk Show." In 2000, Jimmy Fallon became the co-anchor of the popular segment "Weekend Update" alongside Tina Fey. During his six-year stint on "SNL," Jimmy Fallon ventured off into other television roles, including 2nd Lieutenant George Rice in Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg's 2001 Emmy award-winning miniseries "Band of Brothers."

In 2005, Jimmy Fallon participated in Cameron Diaz's MTV eco-friendly travel show "Trippin,'" where he traveled to Africa to educate viewers about one of the world's most unique and fragile ecosystems. In the summer of 2003, Jimmy Fallon earned raves as guest hosting for David Letterman.

In 2003, he appeared alongside Christina Ricci in Woody Allen's "Anything Else." In 2004, Jimmy Fallon starred alongside Queen Latifah in the action-comedy "Taxi."
