I don’t get it, what’s Black Thought going to do every night? I consider this just a rumor for now.
The Roots will take a break from their non-stop touring schedule beginning next March. The band will be trading in its tour bus to join comedian Jimmy Fallon’s new late night talk show as his full-time house band.
Roots’ frontman ?uestlove broke the news during an interview at the group’s show in Chicago last week. A YouTube video with the announcement has since been pulled off the Internet.
Fallon’s show replaces Conan O’Brien’s “Late Night” on NBC next year, while Conan takes over for Jay Leno’s “Tonight Show.”

I think it’s safe to say that this will be more like ‘The Roots’ that were on Jay’s unplugged. i.e. ?uest and a couple other dudes. Kind of hard to think Black will spit a 16 at the top of every show, right? Regardless, I think this is a good look. It’s an easy gig that will pay lots.
is that show still on??
hasn’t even launched yet
