Saugerties NY Real Estate for saleRecent rumors that Saugerties NY native Jimmy Fallon may be taking over the Tonight Show from Jay Leno have got people talking on both coasts! While the debate over who will replace Leno (if & when the cagey Leno decides to leave) has been going on for years, sources say that it's official: Leno's out and Fallon is in! Not only that, the entire Tonight Show is expected to begin filming in New York City rather than Los Angeles as the show changes hands (we're hearing in 2014). This is great news for both New York in general but in particular for Ulster County and Saugerties as one of our own stands poised to host the one and only Tonight Show!

A T.V. Star With Ulster County NY Roots

Ulster County NYJimmy Fallon has roots right here in Ulster County NY! Growing up he and his family lived in the Hudson River town of Saugerties while his Dad was working at IBM in nearby Kingston NY. A natural sense of humor had Fallon doing comedy from an early age, with one of his 1st stand-up acts taking place in Poughkeepsie NY. After college up in Albany, Fallon set out to do comedy professionally, and the rest is history! A Saturday Night Live alumni and current host of his own popular talk show, Fallon is looking to bring it full circle by not only hosting the Tonight Show, but actually bringing the entire production to New York. Such a move could mean big bucks for the Big Apple, and rumor has it the State of New York has been wooing the Tonight Show with the promise of generous tax incentives should the show decide to relocate.
