Jimmy Fallon isn’t going anywhere! That’s right, the king of late-night giggles has just signed a deal to keep ruling the roost on The Tonight Show until 2028. Cue the confetti and the collective sigh of relief from his millions of fans who just can’t get enough of his antics.
NBC Universal, the big boss in charge of all things television, dropped this bombshell news: our favorite 49-year-old jokester and charismatic charmer, Jimmy Fallon, is sticking around. You know what this means? Four more years of lip-sync battles, thank-you notes, and more awkward celebrity interviews than you can shake a monologue at!
Jimmy, always ready with a zinger, had this to say: “For nearly 30 years, I’ve been sneaking into your living rooms and making you laugh whether you wanted to or not. From the stages of 30 Rock, I’ve been your nightly dose of comedy vitamins. I’m super pumped to keep this laughter train chugging along with my amazing team. No, seriously, I’m not changing my quote. Mark needs to get his own material.”
Who’s this Mark guy, you ask? Why, it’s Mark Lazarus, the head honcho of NBCUniversal Media Group. He chimed in, too, because why not? “For nearly 30 years, Jimmy’s been the laughter maestro, the sultan of smiles, beaming joy from the stages of 30 Rock into millions of homes. Watching Jimmy steer The Tonight Show has been an honor, and we’re stoked to see what kind of comedic wizardry he and his brilliant team will come up with next.”
More Fallon fun is coming your way, and if Mark Lazarus has anything to say about it, it’s going to be a wild ride. Get your popcorn ready and prepare for many more nights of hilarious hijinks!
