tag:www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com,2008-10-28:/12 2010-09-09T12:29:39Z On May 12, 2008, NBC identified the last piece in its late night succession plan, naming Jimmy Fallon as the new host of "Late Night." While ramping up for his broadcast debut, Fallon has begun posting nightly video blogs on www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com. A new video blog will go live each weeknight at 12:30 am (ET) until the "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" broadcast premiere, which will be announced at a later date. Each night, the video blogs will give viewers behind-the-scenes access to Fallon's preparation to take over on "Late Night." Fallon is the third host of "Late Night," which has dominated the 12:35 a.m. timeslot since its inception in 1982 with then-host David Letterman.

At this autograph signing, German Chancellor Angela Merkel must remain calm - jubilant even - while a bratty kid pops her one square in the teat. Once again, Merkel proves she's got grace under fire. How does she handle it? Probably by taking a note from Obama - she just thinks about the German version of Dunkaroos. (What is the German version of Dunkaroos?) Read More
