Fallon's First Guests For 'Tonight' Announced

Jimmy Fallon
Jimmy Fallon took the stage at the 2014 Television Critics Association winter press tour on Sunday to announce Will Smith and U2 will be his first Tonight Show guests when he takes over for Jay Leno on Monday, Feb. 17.

His fellow Saturday Night Live alumna Amy Poehler joins him for his last episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. She will also be Seth Meyers’ first guest when Late Night with Seth Meyers debuts on Monday, Feb 24.

“She’s basically Bono’s common-law wife now,” Meyers joked, referring to Poehler and the U2 frontman’s Golden Globes kiss, at the TCA winter press tour where he made the announcement.

The late-night host added that all of his guests for the first three weeks of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon are already booked, and he also revealed that he’ll bring The Tonight Show to Los Angeles a few weeks out of the year, noting it was initially tough to convince NBC to let him stay in New York, where the comedian was born and raised.
