Jimmy Fallon's News Not as Big as Jay Leno's

The next host of a late-night talk show introduced his new house band online

Jimmy Fallon posted his very first video blog to give fans a look at what he plans to do with his upcoming NBC late-night show.

And current late-night kingpin Jay Leno tromped all over it with news that he'll be taking over a chunk of the Peacock net in prime time.

Welcome to late night, Jimmy.

Despite being a bit overshadowed, the affable former SNL dude introduced his historic new digs, a studio once used by Milton Berle, Johnny Carson and the local news team. Then he gave a shout-out to his house band, the Roots, before cutting away from them after about 10 seconds.

Cutting away from the house band midsong? Maybe Fallon is ready to be a late-night host...
