Jimmy Fallon has renewed his contract with NBC as host of The Tonight Show until 2028. Currently celebrating his 10-year anniversary on the show, Fallon has been a mainstay at NBC, originally joining Saturday Night Live in 1998 and later hosting Late Night before heading The Tonight Show. It has consistently been the top late-night talk show among adults 18-49 during Fallon’s tenure, and remains the longest-running talk show on TV.
“For nearly 30 years, I’ve brought laughter into the homes of millions and charmed audiences from the stages of 30 Rock,” Fallon joked in a statement identical to one by NBCUniversal chairman Mark Lazarus. It’s been a privilege to be at the helm of the ‘The Tonight Show’ and I’m thrilled to see what innovations me and the incredible staff will deliver in the years to come at the network. No, I’m not changing my quote. Tell Mark to change his.”
