Jimmy Fallon
has landed his first late-night talk show guest: Robert De Niro. Not too shabby.
De Niro will appear on the premiere of Fallon's show when he takes over Conan O'Brien's former Late Night slot on March 2.
Joining De Niro on the program will be Rock and Roll Hall of Fame singer Van Morrison, who will perform from his critically acclaimed album, "Astral Weeks."
NBC darling Tina Fey will be reunited with former SNL "Weekend Update" co-host Fallon when she appears as a guest on Tuesday, March 3. SNL creator Lorne Michaels, who's producing Fallon's new program along with Fey's 30 Rock, likes to keep things in the family.
Also scheduled to be on the program in its inaugural week: Jon Bon Jovi and Santigold (Tuesday, March 3); Cameron Diaz and Billy Crudup (Wednesday, March 4); Donald Trump, Serena Williams and Ludacris (Thursday, March 5); and Drew Barrymore and Mario Batali (Friday, March 6).
