[Refresh For Latest]
12:45pm: </done>
12:45pm: NBC begins to wrap up past the 90-minute mark. Greenblatt says they’ve been planning this Upfront for five months, and introduces the Roots for one last performance as suits dash for the exits.
12:38pm: Hands down the funniest part of the presentation is the Leno-Fallon duet, a belting medley covering all aspects of NBC. “Maybe NBC will beat Univision,” Leno croons. When Fallon sings that Greenblatt makes good decisions, Leno chirps back, “What about ‘Ready for Love’?”
12:34pm: Select clips from “SNL” play after an intro from Paul Telegdy, and end up garnering the most laughs of the entire presentation. Segs from Leno and Fallon also perform well in room, reminding the aud of NBC’s strength in latenight, even after the PR mess that was the “Tonight Show” baton handoff.
12:29pm: Greenblatt takes a moment towards the end of the presentation »

The comedian will be replacing Jay Leno as host of The Tonight Show. Here are some of his funniest moments from the last year
When the world tuned in to watch Oprah interview Lance Armstrong last year, talkshow host Jimmy Fallon landed the scoop everyone had been waiting for: the testimony of Armstrong's closest accomplice – his bike. "I did notice he was riding me really fast … especially uphill," the racing cycle confessed when asked the crucial question on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, "did he know his rider was taking performance enhancing drugs?". The audience cackled; Fallon barely kept a straight face, and the producers of his popular talk show probably knew they weren't going to be able to keep hold of his silliness and charm for much longer.
And so, to plenty of noise in the Us last week, 38-year-old Fallon was announced as the replacement for Jay Leno, »

The Roots are working on a record with Elvis Costello that should be out later this year. Roots drummer and resident good guy Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson tells Billboard that the collaborative project was sparked by Costello’s three appearances on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. “It was really love at first sight,” Questlove said. “The second time he came on, we surpassed the first one.
