The first show for Late Night with Jimmy Fallon has a couple of pretty big guests lined up. Fallon takes over as host of Late Night on Monday, March 2, and his first guest will be Oscar winner Robert De Niro. The night's musical guest will be Van Morrison, who will be performing "Astral Weeks."

Other guests scheduled for Fallon's first week will be 30 Rock star Tina Fey, Cameron Diaz, Watchmen star Billy Crudup, Drew Barrymore, Ludacris and Santogold. These stars should easily bring in a large audience for the new host.

The Roots will serve as Fallon's house band, and bring a hip-hop aura to the set. Recently he hired comic A.D. Miles as the show's head writer and Saturday Night Live scribe Steve Higgins as the "Late Night" announcer.

Fallon has chosen his first week of guests very well in my opinion. He will probably attract more of a younger audience with these guests, which may not be the demographic that Late Night was aiming for. However, Fallon will start his Late Night run off strong, and he will be a fresh face to the long standing show.
