It’s official: Jimmy Fallon has a steady job again.

The 33-year-old SNL alum has finalized talks to take over as host of “Late Night with Conan O’Brien.” O’Brien will be moving into Jay Leno’s old digs when he retires next year.

At a news conference in New York on Monday, Fallon claimed that “It’s a comedian’s dream to get this job.” He also said that he had missed performing for a live audience.

Fallon will be right at home at the NBC talk show, with SNL creator Lorne Michaels as his boss again.

It’s been a good year for Fallon. He recently married Nancy Juvonen, Drew Barrymore’s producing partner.
