Unlike his predecessor, NBC's Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon has not endured any controversy, personal or professional, from his network counterparts. In fact, lately his biggest obstacle has been himself. As Star magazine reported, in the last few months, Fallon, 41, has had several accidents including ripping his finger off, chipping his tooth and cutting his hand open by falling on the glass of a broken liquor bottle. Speculation has since run rampant that the cause of the former SNL alum's problems is not clumsiness, but alcohol, and comedienne Chelsea Handler is taking full advantage of the boozy buzz in hopes of becoming The Tonight Show's first female host.

Following yesterday’s horrific news in Paris, France – where 12 people were murdered because a satirical newspapers made a number of jokes that offended a particular group – many in the comedy world could not help but feel somewhat uneasy. Not just because of the terrible loss of life for those overseas but also because it somewhat hits home for them. With that, CONAN host Conan O’Brien took a quick minute during last night’s episode with Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 and Pitch Perfect 2 star Elizabeth Banks and actor Vinnie Jones, to discuss what’s now being coined as the “Charlie Hebdo Tragedy.” Read More »

It has been the biggest of big years for "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon, having taken over NBC's flagship late night show from Jay Leno in February, spending 2014 interviewing almost every celebrity under the sun — from Bradley Cooper to Barbra Streisand — and then putting most of them in exceptionally funny situations and challenges. And now he has got an impressive accolade to top it off: "Entertainment Weekly's" 2014 Entertainer of the Year. That's according to "EW," which has named "Saturday Night Live"-alum Fallon its Entertainer of the Year and has the late night host on the cover of this week's magazine. With it comes a substantial feature interview with Jimmy Fallon, with plenty of examination as to how the married 40-year-old father of one has taken over the entertainment biz. In the highest praise possible, "EW" says that since taking over the "The Tonight Show," Fallon "turned the revered late-night franchise into the hottest party in town, a celebrity playpen full of games, music, surprise guests, games and good vibes all around."
