First night a hit for ‘Tonight’ host Jimmy Fallon Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK — If Jimmy Fallon had already proven he was a natural hosting NBC’s “Late Night,” he left no doubt Monday that “The Tonight Show” now fits him like a glove. As promised during the much-promoted run-up to his “Tonight Show” debut, Fallon made no drastic changes to the “Late Night” formula that had served him for five years. He remained funny, gracious, bubbly and, above all, comfortable presiding over a show that was different mostly for its earlier time slot, its classier production values and legendary brand name. “We can book people from the West Coast?!” he joked at his newfound status. He did pretty well with his bookings on opening night: Will Smith and the rock group U2.
But all that was ahead. First, his viewers beheld his new set, boasting burnished-wood paneling and panoramic blue curtains. They had seen his filmed opening — Jimmy as the New York nightcrawler — shot by director Spike Lee. They discovered that his band, the Roots, had grown by two from its already husky eight pieces. Then out came Fallon, to thunderous applause, and planted himself on his mark (a four-leaf clover) to deliver his first monologue. “I’m Jimmy Fallon,” he began, and, with a nod to past late-night turbulence that most recently saw his

“Tonight” predecessor, Jay Leno, make an unsought exit, he added, “I’ll be your host — for now.” He expressed gratitude for his new gig, introduced his parents in the studio audience, and dispensed love in every direction — and made it sound authentic. He had a few Olympics jokes, one offering sympathy to NBC sportscaster Bob Costas, who was sidelined from several days of Olympics coverage with a blinding bout of pinkeye. “You could tell he was having trouble when he spent half-an-hour interviewing a mop he thought was Shaun White,” Fallon cracked. Back at his desk, he voiced what seemed like an aside: “To my buddy who said that I’d never be the host of ‘The Tonight Show’ — and you know who you are — you owe me a hundred bucks, buddy.”

Hopes rise for Japan divers missing off Bali after 5 rescued

DENPASAR - Indonesian police said Tuesday they believe villagers on Bali have spotted two Japanese scuba divers alive four days after they went missing, following the astonishing rescue of five others in the same group. A huge search swung into action on Friday when the group of female divers disappeared after setting out on a diving expedition from Nusa Lembongan, just east of the resort island of Bali. As days passed hopes faded that
any of the women, all experienced divers, would be found alive in an area known for its stunning underwater beauty but also strong, unpredictable currents. But fishermen found five of the women clinging to a coral reef in
rough waters on Monday, some 20 kilometres (12 miles) from where they set off, and rescuers plucked them to safety in a helicopter and lifeboat. On Tuesday police said that villagers had reported seeing two people on a coral reef near the same area sending distress signals by shining lights the previous night. “We believe they are the missing Japanese divers and they are alive,” local police chief Nyoman Suarsika told AFP.
He said rescuers were on the way to the area close to Manta Point, off Nusa Penida island, which lies next to Nusa Lembongan. “We have not been able to reach them yet,” he added. Rescue agency officials said earlier that a helicopter and two boats had been dispatched to the area to search for the remaining divers. The five women who have been rescued are all in hospital in Bali. They have suffered dehydration and sunburn but none are in a serious
condition, doctors said. “We caused many people so much worry over this case,” one of the divers, Saori Furukawa, wrote in a note handed to Japanese media from her hospital bed. “I would like to take a rest for a while, hoping the remaining two are alive.” Kazuo Shibata, consul general at the Japanese consulate in Bali, told Japanese media he had visited four of the divers and that they were fine.
