Jimmy Fallon will begin his Late Night run on the web this Fall before to taking over for Conan O’Brien who will move to the Tonight Show next year, reports The Times.

5-10 minute shows will be posted nightly, likely on Hulu and its distribution partners giving Fallon time to “find his show.” The web offers new hosts like Fallon the luxury of time allowing them the freedom to experiment and find what works.

Perhaps if this online buffer period had been possible in the past, we would have avoided some other huge embarrassing talk show failures.
