Update: NBC to announce Jimmy Fallon as Conan's replacement?

Jimmy FallonRoger Friedman is reporting that the rumors of Jimmy Fallon replacing Conan O'Brien as host of NBC's Late Night are true, and that NBC will make the announcement next month (as you know, Conan is leaving to take over for Jay Leno next year, so his 12:35 gig is now open).

There are two reasons why I think this story might be wrong. One, it's Roger Friedman, and scientific studies have shown that he's wrong 9.2 times out of 10. Second, Friedman says that NBC will make the announcement at their upfronts in May. Well, the network already made their fall annoucements a few weeks ago.

But it could still happen. Maybe NBC will make the announcement when they make some other announcement about their schedules (a smaller presentation could take place the same week the other networks have their major upfronts). This rumor has been floating around for quite some time (even pushed by Fallon himself once, on Howard Stern's radio show), so we'll have to wait and see what happens. NBC seems to like Fallon; he filled in for Letterman a while back, and I'm sure NBC wants to make an announcement way ahead of time so there are no controversies.

Update: Looks like it's true. NBC might announce it soon.
