Tonight Show showrunner Jim Bell is exiting as Jimmy Fallon has fallen behind Jimmy Kimmel
-
Last week's ratings report put Fallon in third place behind Jimmy Kimmel Live! by just 3,000 viewers. Since taking over The Tonight Show last fall, Bell has tried ratings stunts like a visit to Puerto Rico, an homage to The Larry Sanders Show and special live editions after Sunday Night Football. But they haven't been able to stop Fallon's ratings slide. Bell's last episode is yet another stunt: a Tonight Show visit to University of Texas at Austin on Thursday.
