‘Tonight Show’ announcement provokes reaction on Twitter
Reaction to NBC’s confirmation that Jimmy Fallon will be taking over at “The Tonight Show” -- along with the added whammy that production will move to New York City -- generated a wave of reaction among fans and non-fans alike on Twitter.
NBC confirmed that Fallon will succeed Jay Leno as host of “The Tonight Show” in the spring of 2014.
Although Leno is still the most-watched late-night television host, NBC is making the move because it thinks Fallon will do better with younger viewers in the years to come.
