Hand injury to sideline ‘Tonight’ host Jimmy Fallon

NEW YORK — “Tonight” show host Jimmy Fallon was on the shelf after a
hand injury that required minor surgery Friday and forced NBC to cancel a taping
of late-night TV’s most popular program.

The show tweeted out the news but the network offered no
immediate details on how or where the 40-year-old comic was injured.

Hey guys – unfortunately tonight's taping has been cancelled due to Jimmy injuring his hand. He's totally fine but we'll be airing a repeat.

Fallon will have
some recovery time since the show was scheduled to be on hiatus for the next two
weeks anyway.

“Tonight” was supposed to have Benicio Del Toro, Taylor Kitsch and Penn and
Teller as guests Friday.
