Ratings may be down, but Jimmy Fallon isn’t leaving The Tonight Show anytime soon…
From Deadline:
Jimmy Fallon is sticking with The Tonight Show. The comedian has signed a contract extension with NBC to continue hosting the late-night show.
His current contract runs through to the end of 2021 after the network extended the deal in August 2015 for an additional three and a half years.
Fallon began hosting the show in February 2014, taking over from Jay Leno. He followed in the footsteps of Conan O’Brien, Johnny Carson, Jack Paar and Steve Allen to front the show.
However, The Tonight Show is no longer the ratings leader that it used to be. Recently, Fallon’s show has been beaten in the overnights by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel Live!
