Now Jennifer Aniston knows what it’s like to be on the other side…of the desk, that is.

Jennifer was a guest Monday night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and actually got behind Fallon’s desk and hosted the show for a minute.

“I’ve always wondered what’s back here,” she told Fallon . “I gotta tell you, I’m really comfortable here.”

Promoting a pair of upcoming projects, Baster and Management, Aniston said she had long wondered what it was like at the helm of a late night show.

Aniston then asked Fallon to fan her while she asked him a few questions.

“I gotta tell you, I’m really comfortable here … I’m going to pretend like I’m listening to you,” she said. “But I’m reading the next question.”

Later, the two played a game of grapefruit bowling.

 

Jimmy Fallon and his family were kicked out of a pizza joint in New York and he vented his rage on his Twitter page, urging his followers to boycott the restaurant…and then takes it back.

Here is Jimmy’s Twitter rant:

It sounds like Jimmy, his wife, and the two small children that were with them were all asked to leave the restaurant based on something the owner thought Jimmy had previously said. It seems like a real chef (or just someone with class) would have risen to the occasion and baked them a bad-ass pie. Obviously Jimmy likes the place if he takes his family there. Duh.

Doesn’t that “Carb Face Carol” sounds like a real piece of work?

“Saturday Night Live” veteran Jimmy Fallon was officially named on Monday to take Conan O’Brien’s place on NBC next year when O’Brien succeeds Jay Leno as host of “The Tonight Show.”

The announcement, which had been expected for weeks, was made during a press event from NBC headquarters in New York where O’Brien’s “Late Night” show is taped. I wonder what Carson Daly thinks about Jimmy getting Conan’s job. He must be pissed!

The appointment of Fallon, long considered a leading contender for NBC’s 12:35 a.m. time slot, completes a talent shuffle set in motion when the General Electric Co-owned network announced in 2004 that Leno would retire from “Tonight” in 2009 and that O’Brien would replace him.

“It’s going to be a grind, it’s going to be hard, but I’m going to go at it full force,” the boyish-looking Fallon told reporters on a conference call. “The fact that I’m stepping into David Letterman and Conan O’Brien’s shoes is very exciting.”

No mention of Leno? Ouch. Shouldn’t he have said Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien’s shoes?

Fallon said he also was excited to go back to work for Lorne Michaels, who was his boss as producer of “Saturday Night Live” and whose company co-produces “Late Night.”

Asked how much his new job would pay, Fallon joked, “I keep asking Lorne and he’s telling me not to worry about.

“They’re paying me enough,” he said. “I just want to live comfortably in Dubai.”

Fallon, 33, appeared on “SNL” for six seasons and was co-host of its “Weekend Update” segment. He left the program to focus on making feature films, although such efforts as “Fever Pitch” and “Taxi” fell flat at box offices.

His impending move to “Late Night” stems from a development deal he signed with NBC in early 2007.

Many details of the transition among nighttime TV hosts remain to be worked out, including exactly when the changes will take place.

Like Fallon, O’Brien, 45, cut his comedy-writing teeth on “Saturday Night Live” before landing the “Late Night” job, but he had far less on-screen time than Fallon.

O’Brien made his “Late Night” debut in 1993 after the original host of the franchise, David Letterman, jumped to CBS to go head-to-head against Leno, following Johnny Carson’s retirement from “The Tonight Show” a year earlier.

Leno, 58, is said to be privately unhappy about his planned departure and rival networks are unofficially courting him.

NBC executives say they are still looking at various options for keeping Leno in the network fold, including a possible move to prime-time television.
