Fallon, 50, signed an extension to his multimillion-dollar contract last summer that will shield the TV host\u2019s show from cancellation until 2028.<\/p>\n

NBCUniversal Media Group chairman Mark Lazarus<\/strong> shared a statement regarding the news.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor nearly 30 years, Jimmy Fallon has brought laughter into the homes of millions and charmed audiences from the stages of 30 Rock,\u201d Lazarus said at the time, per the Hollywood Reporter<\/em><\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s been a privilege to witness Jimmy at the helm of the The Tonight Show<\/em>, and we\u2019re thrilled to see what innovations he and the incredible staff will deliver in the years to come at the network.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Fever Pitch<\/em> actor also has a new show on the network called On Brand<\/em>, which will premiere in September.<\/p>\n

According to a synopsis, the episodes will see \u201cmarketing pros compete in creative challenges, crafting jingles, brand experiences, and ads while working directly with real companies. One winner takes home the title and prize money.\u201d<\/p>\n

Additionally, Fallon will also continue to appear on the game show Password<\/em>, where he also serves as an executive producer.<\/p>\n

Fallon has a long history with NBC, as he was initially a cast member on Saturday Night Live<\/em> from 1998 to 2004.<\/p>\n

As the National Enquirer<\/em> previously reported,<\/a> Fallon said he was \u201cshocked\u201d to hear the news and took to his Instagram Story last month to wish Colbert, 61, the best.<\/p>\n

\u201cStephen is one of the sharpest, funniest hosts to ever do it. I really thought I\u2019d ride this out with him for years to come,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sad that my family and friends will need a new show to watch every night at 11:30,\u201d Fallon continued. \u201cBut honestly, he\u2019s really been a gentleman and a true friend over the years \u2014 going back to The Colbert Report<\/em>, and I\u2019m sure whatever he does next will be just as brilliant.\u201d<\/p>\n

CBS and Paramount executives released a statement in July where they claimed that the cancellation was \u201cpurely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop\u201d and was \u201cnot related in any way to the show\u2019s performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colbert took over as host<\/a> of The Late Show<\/em> from David Letterman<\/strong> in 2015.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
