The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon kicks off … well, tonight. And lil’ Jimmy’s got flutterbies! “I can’t even begin to describe what we are all feeling right now here at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, NYC,” Fallon, or an intern with a killer Fallon-on-Tumblr impression, writes. “But — I know that we’ll never have this exact feeling ever again. By this time tomorrow we’ll no longer wonder what it would be like to do the Tonight Show. We can’t put that feeling — that moment back in the bottle. All we can do is try to make the best show that we can and make people happy. And we will. Here’s to the first of many. Fun.” The show airs at midnight and features Will Smith and U2.
