Late Night with Jimmy Fallon: In Conversation with Brian Williams: Live at the Paley Center

Erstwhile “Saturday Night Live” comedian Jimmy Fallon has entered the chat show fray with “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon,” energized by house band and hip-hop eminences the Roots and sharp sketches such as the “Lost” parody “Late.” Fallon talks about production of this freewheeling, late-night lunacy. This Paley Center for Media live event honors comedian Jimmy Fallon, host of “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” Pat Mitchell (president and CEO, The Paley Center for Media) offers opening remarks and welcomes Fallon to the stage, as well as Brian Williams (anchor and managing editor, “NBC Nightly News”), who serves as moderator. Williams and Fallon touch on such topics as: Fallon’s “obsession” with “Saturday Night Live” while growing up; getting The Roots on the show as the house band; and Fallon’s family life and off-air interests. Questions from the audience then lead to a discussion of the following topics among others: Fallon’s lack of interest in doing feature films; the use of the Internet in giving the audience a backstage look at “Late Night”; and Fallon’s dream to interview Queen Elizabeth II on Skype.
