On Oct. 24, Fallon was stitched up at a hospital in Cambridge, Mass., after falling — and dropping a bottle of Jägermeister — while receiving the Harvard Lampoon’s Elmer Award for Excellence in Humor. “I threw the bottle and then I landed on broken glass,” a bandaged Fallon recapped on his show the following Monday. “There [were] pools of blood everywhere.”

It’s the party guy’s third injury in four months, and sources say NBC is worried that Fallon’s drinking has become excessive. And while they’re not doing anything about it — yet — “It’s gone from being a whisper to a chatter,” says one industry insider of Fallon’s over-the-top behavior.

But Jimmy said the one uncharacteristic thing his parents allowed him to do was sit and drink beer as he watched Saturday Night Live.

'As long as I wasn't doing anything at night, I'd just sit by myself, and I would have a six-pack of Pabst,' he told the magazine.

'I don't know if I made it through the six, but I'd just sit there and watch the show. And tape it.'

Kinda curious what his wife is thinking allowing all of this insane behavior. I'm pretty sure she's got a good job herself, so it's not like she's just hanging on to someone with money and power.

A kinder, gentler Golden Globes? NBC said on Tuesday that one of its biggest homegrown stars, Jimmy Fallon, the host of “The Tonight Show,” would serve as the next Golden Globe Awards M.C., taking the baton from Ricky Gervais.

Last year, when Mr. Greenblatt announced that Mr. Gervais, the acerbic British comedian, would return for a fourth turn as the show’s host, he put Hollywood on notice, saying “fasten your seatbelts.” But the selection of Mr. Fallon signals a turn away from Mr. Gervais’s celebrity potshots and toward the wackier antics exhibited by hosts like Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, who anchored three Golden Globes ceremonies starting in 2013.

Fallon on his Twitter account posted "And I'm really looking forward to spending time with the Hollywood Foreign Press before Donald Trump has them all deported"

After serving as the late-night series' showrunner for several years, Josh Lieb has decided to step down from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon after inking a deal with Universal Television, according to THR. The split seems to be amicable, as Lieb has voiced a specific desire to pursue new professional avenues that will allow him to do more writing and enjoy a better work-life balance. Although his departure is a major loss for the series, it isn't the only one in recent memory; last week, producer Gavin Purcell similarly left The Tonight Show in order to pursue opportunities elsewhere.

In the face of this massive shift, The Tonight Show has had to do some hefty shuffling behind the scenes to deal with the changes. With Josh Lieb stepping down from his role, the series has granted increased authority to producers Katie Hockmeyer, Gerard Bradford, and Mike DiCenzo.


At this point it remains incredibly unclear as to how the series will change with Josh Lieb no longer at the helm. He has played a pivotal role in the show's creative direction ever since 2013, and he is credited with much of the series' success. The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon has consistently dominated late-night ratings ever since Jimmy Fallon took over in 2014, and anyone following in Lieb's footsteps would definitely be wise to emulate his style.

Josh Lieb's decision to depart The Tonight Show in order to spend more time writing definitely makes sense when we consider his accomplished background. An Emmy-winning writer, he spent a number of years working for The Daily Show With Jon Stewart before taking the reigns on The Tonight Show, and he also has writing credits on iconic shows like The Simpsons and NewsRadio.
