Jimmy Fallon takes over the venerable “Tonight Show” of NBC TV Network and in order for hisdebut episode to succeed when it comes out on screen on February, NBC rewrites history. Jimmy is trying to bend the rules of time in order for his career to succeed. In a promo revealed last Saturday night, the Peacock depicts Fallon as the latest in the decades-old program’s line of memorable hosts. A succession of graphics lists the famous names: Steve Allen. Jack Paar. Johnny Carson. Conan O’Brien, Jay Leno. This is going to be the biggest challenge that Jimmy Fallon will ever face, especially on topping Jay Leno above everyone else. Leno hosted the show before O’Brien did. Indeed, the veteran has enjoyed two separate “Tonight” runs, from 1992 to 2009, as Johnny Carson’s successor, and again starting in 2010, after a General Electric-controlled NBCUniversal attempted to move Conan O’Brien into the “Tonight” chair while keeping Leno affiliated with the network by placing him to a 10 p.m. timeslot five days a week. The last time NBC attempted to manage a “Tonight” transition from a long-running host to a new one, it used different tactics. When O’Brien prepared to take the reins from Leno in 2009, NBC launched a marketing effort that portrayed the lanky red-headed host as a box of new cereal or a tube of an unheard-of toothpaste. Part of their promotion of Fallon’s debut on the show is his appearance on a press event held last Tuesday during which NBC Universal executives discussed their plans for covering the event. Fallon’s success is going to be a critical period for the TV Network, which continues to dominate the latenight time slot even as its once-unshakable holds on primetime.
