Jimmy Fallon: Coming to a TV near you!

Jimmy Fallon is gearing up to prepare for the debut of his very own talk show tonight!

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon set to premiere with and guests Robert De Niro and Justin Timberlake, followed by a performance by Van Morrison.

Producer Michael Shoemaker said "I think in the case of Robert De Niro, he had a lot of [talk show] experience and he knows Jimmy well. Jimmy has done skits with De Niro on 'Saturday Night Live' and I think [De Niro] knows Jimmy will take care of him."

As for his guests the rest of the week, we can expect Tuesday: Tina Fey, Jon Bon Jovi and Santigold; Wednesday: Cameron Diaz, Billy Crudup and Clap Your Hands Say Yeah; Thursday: Serena Williams, Donald Trump and Ludacris and Friday: Chace Crawford, Mario Batali and Drew Barrymore

Shoemaker adds, "These [guests] aren't going to be someone Jimmy has never met...it really wasn't for a 'comfort level' thing - he just happens to know amazing people."

As for the show, Fallon's in-house band will be The Roots, and the announcer will be SNL alum Steve Higgins.

Your thoughts on the guests? Jimmy Fallon? The show's possible success/failure as a whole?
