After that, the show will move to New York City, with Jimmy at the helm. At the TCA Winter Press Tour, the current Late Night With Jimmy Fallon host opened up about his first guest — Will Smith“He’s a big Hollywood star,” the 39-year-old gushed. “And he always brings it every time he goes on a talk show.” U2 will be his first musical guest.

Jimmy’s first episode of The Tonight Show will air on Feb. 17.
