''Late Night with Jimmy Fallon'' is an American late-night talk show that aired weeknights at 12:35 am Eastern/11:35 pm Central on NBC in the United States.〔( About page ) from the ''Late Night with Jimmy Fallon'' official website〕 The hour-long show, which premiered on March 2, 2009, and ended on February 7, 2014, was hosted by actor, comedian, and performer Jimmy Fallon, an alumnus of ''Saturday Night Live''. Hip hop/neo soul band The Roots served as the show's house band, and Steve Higgins was the show's announcer. The third incarnation of the ''Late Night'' franchise originated by David Letterman, the program originated from NBC Studio 6B (and Studio 6A for the final 6 months of its run) in the GE Building at 30 Rockefeller Center in New York City. The show typically opened with a brief monologue from Fallon, followed by a comedy "desk piece," as well as prerecorded segments and audience competitions. The next segment was devoted to a celebrity interview, with guests ranging from actors and musicians to media personalities and political figures. The show then closed with either a musical or comedy performance, or a cooking segment. The show frequently employed digital media into its comedy, which has become crucial to its success. In 2013, Fallon was selected by NBC to succeed a retiring Jay Leno as host of ''The Tonight Show''. The final episode of ''Late Night'' under Fallon aired one night after Leno's final episode of ''The Tonight Show'' on February 6, 2014. Most of the cast and crew immediately began working on ''The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'', which premiered on February 17, 2014. Seth Meyers was named as Fallon's replacement, and ''Late Night with Seth Meyers'' debuted after the Sochi Olympics. The show's ratings remained above its rival shows throughout most of the series' run. In 2011, the show garnered two Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series. ==Format== The show began with the opening sequence as Steve Higgins proclaiming "From Studio 6B/6A in Rockefeller Center, the National Broadcasting Company presents ''Late Night with Jimmy Fallon''!", and announced that night's guests and "the legendary Roots crew". Just before Higgins introduced Fallon, the camera cut to a shot of The Roots, who then shouted three numbers symbolizing the episode number of ''Late Night'' (though other numbers and statements have been shouted in place based on current events, cities if that episode's number matches a particular city's area codes, and historical show moments). As the camera panned over to the main stage, some members of The Roots performed actions to get the camera's attention (F. Knuckles saluted, Captain Kirk Douglas did a windmill chord, and Damon Bryson smiled while flashing a peace sign). Higgins then introduced Fallon with a drawn-out "And here he is, Jimmy Fallon!", and Fallon began his brief monologue. Fallon often gave the cue cards for a joke to audience members if the joke fell particularly flat. After each monologue Jimmy said "We got a great show for you tonight. Give it up for The Roots!" After the monologue, Fallon typically performed a comedy "desk piece." Some were weekly: "Pros and Cons" on Tuesdays, and "Late Night Hashtags" on Thursdays. Fridays were also reserved for Fallon to write "Thank You Notes" to figures that have given him material for the past week. The popularity of these "Thank You Notes" led to the release of two books full of the favorites. He also sometimes had the entire crew of the show write letters home. After the desk piece ended and a commercial break followed, typically there was a competition involving players selected from the studio audience. These included "Wheel of Carpet Samples," "Wax on Wax off," "Cell Phone Shootout," "Models and Buckets," "Lick it for Ten," "Let Us Play with Your Look," "Put It In Reverse," and "Hot Dog in a Hole." Occasionally the segment featured a group-performance competition, "Battle of the Instant Bands" or "Battle of the Instant Dance Crews." In the show's third segment, the first guest arrived. That guest usually stayed after the next break, then either played a game with Jimmy and some audience members, or performed in a skit with Jimmy. Next, a second guest entered after the show's third break. Once these interviews were completed and the show had taken its final commercial break, the musical guest (or sometimes, a chef or comedian) performed. Once the musical guest finished, Fallon bid the viewers farewell. As credits rolled, Fallon ran up and down the stairs of the studio giving high fives to the audience before exiting backstage. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Late Night with Jimmy Fallon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
