Yay! TV is back! NBC has just announced its fall lineup and much it looks like Jimmy Fallon will be taking over for Conan O'Brien. Hmm, he's not busy working on a sequel to "Taxi"? The Saturday Night Live alumnus said that he was excited about his new gig, telling the press, "I'm hoping to make it the best show -- a great show for everyone to choose me to fall asleep during." Meanwhile, I totally forgot he still did stuff.
I'm totally loving Kathy Griffin's wig. OK, there's a possibility that it might be real--and the possibility also exists that I'm a genuine journalist, as in not very likely.
Also, I'm loving Tina Fey and so glad that 30 Rock and The Office will be returning, although I'm not understanding why Jim Halpert has grown a beard. Look, I know that's not his real name, but John Krasinski can do whatever he wants with his face during hiatus, as long as Jim doesn't end up paying the price on the show.

I agree about Jim / John - facial hair does NOT suit him.

I love Conan but can never stay up to watch his show anymore. It'll be much easier once he takes over the Tonight Show...can't wait.
I think that Jimmy Fallon is an awesome replacement for O'Brien. They're both SNL alums, so he's sure to keep the program hilarious.
