Saturday Night Live alumni Jimmy Fallon will replace fellow SNL alumni Conan O’Brien on Late Night when Conan moves over to Tonight and Leno is forced out. I guess NBC executive Lorne Michaels thinks the formerly not ready for prime timers are ready, but I’m not sure even Fallon agrees. At the Press conference Fallon said to Michaels “You started my career, you might as well end it.”

    I read that in the Times, too. He has hosted for Letterman a couple of times when Dave was not there, and he did a pretty good job. He’s a nice guy. Great job here on Jimmy F!

    Thanks.

    Today I dipped into the entertainment section looking for someone to draw. I think all the reporters are taking some vacation time to rest up for the second round of the 08 campaign… Oh well, I guess no news is good news.

    I wish Jimmy Fallon well.

    Hey Larry,

    Thanks for your comment. Believe it or not, Monday I was looking through the attendees for ICON 5, happened upon your site, and was admiring your portrait work. Very very nice. Love the pen on paper work, too! Hope I have the pleasure to cross your path in NYC.

    Best,
    Allan
