Obama On Fallon About Romney: “We’re Not Friends”

By NIKKI FINKE, Editor in Chief | Tuesday April 24, 2012 @ 5:39pm PDTTags: Jimmy Fallon, Mitt Romney, President Barack Obama

The presidential campaign battleground is in full swing on late night TV. GOP candidate Mitt Romney has done the Top Ten list on CBS’ Late Show With David Letterman and more recently visited NBC’s The Tonight Show With Jay Leno in March. Now President Obama is making his first visit on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon on location from the campus of the University of North Carolina:

Fallon reads a fan’s Twitter question: …if Mitt Romney was in the room with you right now what would you say to him?
OBAMA: I would say, hey Mitt. How you doing?
FALLON: That’s pretty good. Do you know Mitt.
OBAMA: I have met him, but he, but we’re not friends. He seems like somebody who cares deeply about his family, and his wife is lovely.

Friday Night Dinner is a single-camera about a quirky family that has dinner together every Friday night. Daniels is executive producing with Howard Klein and the original series’ producer Big Talk TV. The project has already been doing preliminary casting, with David Koechner eyed for a role.

The Jimmy Fallon multi-camera project, written by Charlie Grandy, revolves around three thirtysomething guys who enjoy the adventures of parenting despite the fact they haven’t grown up themselves. Fallon, Grandy and Amy Ozols are executive producing. This marks the first pilot for Fallon’s company Holiday Road. Read More »

EMMYS: Jimmy Fallon Comes Into His Own With First Major Nominations

By THE DEADLINE TEAM | Thursday July 14, 2011 @ 10:50am PDTTags: Jimmy Fallon, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

Ray Richmond is contributing to Deadline’s Emmy coverage.

After a slow start (who can forget that dreadful premiere-night interview with Robert De Niro), Jimmy Fallon’s late-night NBC show has grown by leaps and bounds in its 28 months on the air. Once just a sideshow in the big Conan-Leno controversy, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon has emerged as one the hottest late-night programs, a status validated today by Emmy nominations for best variety, music or comedy series and for writing for VMC series, the show’s first major Emmy recognition. But for a while, Fallon this morning feared another snub when he woke up at the crack of dawn to no congratulatory phone calls or emails. Turned out he was just too early as he got up at 7:40 AM ET, an hour before the Emmy nominations announcement. “I screwed up the time really badly,” Fallon admitted happily this morning in an exclusive interview with Deadline, having later discovered that he’d earned three noms, for best VMC series and writing as well as for Interactive Media. “I’d had this whole thing worked out in my head about how to keep up morale among the staff. Then I get a call from my wife. And she’s screaming and crying with joy. That’s when I knew I’d have my work cut out trying to make the writing staff depressed again.” Read More »
