Fallon's New Studio is Sue Simmons's Sloppy Seconds

With WNBC recently moving into new "high-tech" digs upstairs, Fallon says his team jumped at the chance to take over the studio, which was also home to the Milton Berle-hosted Texaco Star Theater once upon a time. But the new space doesn't exactly sound like it's going to be nostalgia-laden. Fallon says that plans are to have three rows of benches pull out where rabid fans (who are not in the audience for the rest of the show) will come into the studio and be on camera during musical acts (à la the Super Bowl Halftime Show). The incoming host said they'd have it set up for first week's musical guest Santigold, but was debating how out of place swaying teens might look for opening night act Van Morrison.

Throughout the Q&A session, we learned who his dream guest would be (the Queen of England—they'd Wii Bowl together), that he and band leader ?uestlove have already taken a road trip together and he confirmed that The Roots would be writing original entrance music for the guests rather than pay royalties for existing songs—meaning as he put it, "You're not gonna hear The Roots playing The Wind Beneath My Wings."

When we told Fallon that there were rumors that he and a stalker cousin of his once injected steroids into each other in the Dominican Republic, he didn't miss a beat and broke into A-Rodesque bad acting with fake sobs saying, "It's been a tough time for my family, but Late Night is bigger than Jimmy Fallon."

When asked if he was either a Yankee or Met fan from his childhood growing up in New York, Fallon revealed that he's actually a member of the Red Sox Nation—as a result of starring in the movie Fever Pitch. We thought that all the haters out there would be happy to hear that one.
