NBC
Here's Johnny! Johnny Carson made the 'Tonight Show' a TV mainstay with beloved characters such as Carnac the Magnificent.
Johnny Carson handed off the show to Jay Leno in 1992. Leno held down the comedic late-night talk show until 2009, when he briefly moved to a later time slot making room for Conan O'Brien to take his post. But less than one year later, Leno was back. He is passing the reigns onto Fallon, who will officially take over Feb. 24.

Jay Leno took over the late-night show for Johnny Carson in 1992 — and held the reins for over two decades.
Fallon will record the "Tonight Show" live in New York City for first time in 42 years, since Carson moved it out west.
Meyers, a 39-year-old "Saturday Night Live" alum, will begin hosting "Late Night" on the same night Fallon's promotion begins, making him the fourth to host the 12:30 a.m. show. The show's first host was David Letterman in 1982 followed by Conan O'Brien and Fallon, who's been hosting since 2009.
Late Night with Seth Meyers
As Jimmy Fallon steps up to the 'Tonight Show,' Seth Meyers is gearing up for his shot at the 'Late Night' show on afterward.

"Every discussion led to Seth," an NBC source said previously. "He's brilliant, got the talent, the chops and Lorne (Michaels) loves him."
Meyer's will reportedly make between $6 million to $9 million a year for his new position.
"Twelve-thirty on NBC has long been incredible real estate," he said in a previous statement. "I hope I can do it justice."
