Class act!

EXCLUSIVE: Jimmy Fallon is negotiating a new deal with NBC that would pave the way for him to take over The Tonight Show. But he’s doing it without his longtime manager Management 360′s Eric Kranzler by his side. I’ve learned that Fallon fired Kranzler the day after the Oscars while the talk show host’s team was in preliminary conversations with NBC about a new contract for him. That ended Fallon’s second stint with Kranzler who originally managed the actor for three years during Fallon’s tenure on Saturday Night Live in the early 2000s. After a brief hiatus, Fallon re-signed with Kranzler in 2008, a year before the launch of his late-night NBC show Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. During the past five years, Fallon also branched out into producing and hosted the Primetime Emmy Awards. He continues to be represented by CAA, which is handling his negotiations with NBC.

He gave him a second try, still probably with the same issues he had before... not sure why we are DBing?

I thought Pasta was going to be pissed that Fallon is going to replace the Geriatric Comedy Hour.

In response to Newper: The guy was with him it seems through most of his career. Fallon is about to get the biggest payday he ever had in his life,which in turn his agent gets one,too. So now he cuts him. Fallon is a prick,unless there was some behind the scenes stuff. His show is tolerable,but I resent his "trendiness" with his incorporating tweets and internet "stuff" in his program. He's playing to the "youts" in the audience. Of course,I'm usually nodding off before Mike Adamle slurs his last sentence on the NBC local news. I think the late night talk show could disappear off the TV landscape and nobody would care.

Does NBC never learn? It's cranky old guys like jimmy that watch The Tonight Show. They wouldn't stand for Conan and they demanded the return of Jay and his hoary old jokes. Now they're going to try Jimmy Fallon? Jimmy Fallon? This fuckin' kid uses the Internet for God's sake! Stop taking the show from Jay! Better yet, exhume Johnny Carson!

List of funniest major network late nite shows,

1. Fallon
2. Ferguson
3. Conan
4. Letterman
5. Kimmel

I don't watch Leno unless there's a good music guest, Colbert gets on my nerves in a bad way, I like Stewart, but don't watch Daily show.

Fallon's show is the best.

See that's what I don't get about NBC pushing hard for Fallon @ this time. Nobody over 30-35~ is going to get many of the references that he makes in his jokes. Albeit, he does do a lot less monologue than the other hosts, he'll still lose a lot of the older crowd. I guess NBC doesn't care, as long as he gets that 18-35 ratio. But my feeling is, they will care. They gave Conan only 6 mos. & bumped him because he lost the overall lead. They'll do it again w/ Fallon. However, this time, Leno will have gone on to FOX & will have an overall lead there.

Bingo

I've hated Fallon's unfunny ass for ages, and Lorne Michaels' unending promoting of this smirking goof is just another exhibit against the "Lorne is a genius" crap pushed in every SNL special and article.

As odd a move as this might appear to be on the surface, it is actually far from unprecedented. Johnny Carson fired his manager after accepting 'The Tonight Show'. Jay Leno did the same thing when he got the job in 1992. The general thinking appears to be that once a talent lands a (usually) long-term, big bucks position hosting a late night show, the only job his manager has from that point is to collect a percentage of his earnings. Thus, the usual course of action is to part ways. Hopefully Jimmy sent Kranzler one of his customary "thank you" notes with his severance pay.

Good rankings. I was a big Ferguson guy for awhile but got sick of the same bits. The whole "my show production budget is tiny and no one notices my show/I'm doing this from a basement" schtick is lame. Dude, you're a fucking multi-millionaire doing a job only five other guys have. It's not exactly assembly line drudgery. I go hot and cold with his show. I'll watch for a few months then ignore it for six.
