It's not clear how true those rumors are, but it might not be long before The Tonight Show ends up making another big change to its episodes in order to secure as much of a viewership as it can. It's been reported that showrunner Jim Bell has been butting heads with executive producer Lorne Michaels, who first worked with Jimmy Fallon during his Saturday Night Live stint.

It marked Colbert's overarching first demo win, and The Late Show's first demo victory over The Tonight Show since the 1994-1995 season, when it was all about Leno vs. Because dammit, we need to see people spitting in each other's faces quicker. decided to adapt the idea for their own ideals.

According to Fallon, the decision to cut the opening was inspired by the producers' intention to get to the comedy quicker. The Tonight Show now kicks off with a heavily truncated opening that barely utilizes announcer Steve Higgins or The Roots, with Jimmy Fallon quickly launching into his monologue soon after.
