Jimmy Fallon's kindergarten yearbook at St. Mary of the Snow in Saugerties, N.Y., listed him as "most likely to take over for David Letterman."

Letterman's not going anywhere, but close enough: NBC on Monday made official a plan that's been talked about since 2003. It means Conan O'Brien will move west to take over for Jay Leno at the Tonight show next year. Fallon will take O'Brien's chair.

Jeff Zucker, NBC president and CEO, would not comment Monday on the state of talks with Leno as they relate to what he'll do next.

After a break to refurbish the Rockefeller Center studio where O'Brien now works, the 33-year-old Fallon will begin his reign.

Of course, there are plenty of details to work out, including the show's format and whether he has a sidekick or band.

"I'm not sure I'm going to reinvent the wheel with the talk-show format," Fallon said. "There's no need."
