Jimmy Fallon will officially be given the keys to NBC's "Late Night" franchise after Conan O'Brien's exit.

A person close to the negotiations who spoke on condition of anonymity confirmed the widely rumored change Sunday and said a news conference was planned for today.

All that's left is an official date for NBC's transition: O'Brien moving out West to take over for Jay Leno on the "Tonight" show and Fallon following in the next time slot.

Farina was booked for investigation of carrying a concealed weapon, police said. After police discovered the gun was not registered, charges were upgraded to a felony, with bail set at $35,000.
