The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon has been renewed for five years, which is a longer-term commitment from NBC to the host than the network had previously disclosed.
Variety reported that Susan Rovner, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming chairman, confirmed the renewal during NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation. Rovner stated,
that NBCUniversal is working fast to generate content for its linear and streaming platforms.
The company went through a massive restructuring of its TV operations last fall when Rovner signed on to lead content operations after more than 20 years as a top creative executive at Warner Bros. TV.
