Although the official announcement won't come until May 12, it's been confirmed this week that SNL alum Jimmy Fallon has been officially secured as the successor to Conan O'Brien's Late Night program on NBC.
Fans of the red-headed comic needn't worry: O'Brien isn't going far. He'll be moving to Jay Leno's 11:35 p.m. Tonight Show spot following Leno's retirement in 2009.
Watch Fallon's video, "Idiot Boyfriend," to gear up for his new job:
