Jimmy Fallon will assume Conan O'Brien's Late Night post next year

"He is a handpicked talent, part of the NBC family already," NBC entertainment chief Ben Silverman said during a press conference.

Jimmy is expected to take over the Late Night reins from Conan sometime in 2009 when the comedian replaces Jay Leno on The Tonight Show.

"It's a comedian's dream to get his job, to work with writers and try to be funny every night," Jimmy said. "It's going to be a grind, it's going to be hard, but I'm going to go at it full force," "The fact that I'm stepping into David Letterman and Conan O'Brien's shoes is very exciting."
