AceShowbiz - NBC has released the first promo for "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon". The video promotes Jimmy Fallon's debut as the new host of the late-night show by featuring old footage featuring his predecessors.
Despite his short-lived stint on "Tonight Show", Conan O'Brien makes appearance in the promo among other previous hosts, including Steve Allen, Jack Paar and Johnny Carson, as well as Jay Leno, who is currently hosting the show.
