Jimmy Fallon becomes the new host
of The Tonight Show
By: Annabelle Raley
September 27, 1954, The
Tonight Show first aired with
Steve Allen. After about three
years, the baton was passed on
to Jack Paar until 1962 when
he abruptly quit The Tonight
Show after NBC censored one
of his monologue jokes. About a
month later he returned to say,
“As I was saying before I was
interrupted … I believe the last
thing I said was ‘There must be
a better way to make a living
than this.’ Well, I’ve looked - and
there isn’t.”

in 1962 and will forever be
known as the “King” of late
night television. For thirty years,
Carson dedicated his time as host
of The Tonight
Show. After
Carson retired in
1992, comedian
and regular
guest host Jay
Leno took over.
When Leno left
late night to
take a shot at
primetime in
2009, Late Night
host Conan
O’Brien stepped
into the role of
The Tonight
Show host. After about nine
months, in March of 2010, Leno
returned to The Tonight Show
after the cancellation of The
Jay Leno Show. On Leno’s last
episode of The Tonight Show,
which aired February 6, 2014,
he received about 14.6 million
viewers, the highest in 15 years.
Kimberly “Sweet Brown”
Wilkins. Remember her? She
is more commonly known as
“ain’t no body got time for that”
girl, was in a video uploaded to
YouTube in April 2012. In the
video her local news station
was interviewing her about her
apartment building catching
on fire that night and she
escaped. In the interview, she
said memorable things such as
“Oh, Lord Jesus, it’s a fire,” “I
woke up to go get me a cold
pop… then the smoke got me
and I got bronchitis,” and the
most commonly known “Ain’t
no body got time for that,”
which was soon turned into a
meme. Since the interview, she
has appeared on TV talk shows
like ABC’s The View, she’s had
a role in a Tyler Perry movie,
and went on to sue Apple. Apple
made a song that contained catch
phrases from her interview and
so she tried to sue them.

Harry and Charlie DaviesCarr, otherwise known as biter
and bitey in “Charlie bit my
finger,” were three and one
when the video went viral. The
biting boys are now 11 and 9.
The father of the boys posted the
video on to YouTube in 2007 as
an easy way to show the video to
their godfather. The father was
just about to take the video down
when it went viral. Since then,
the video still holds the spot for
“most watched video made by
a non-professional.” After the
boys blew up, the father decided
to post a new video every six
weeks of the boys growing up.
They now have another brother,
Jasper, who the boys mother was
pregnant with when the video
went viral.
