No, I’m not changing my quote. Tell Mark to change his.” Fallon joined NBC in 1998 as a cast member of “Saturday Night Live,” where he quickly became a fan favorite with several noteworthy musical bits and sketches. After exiting “SNL” in 2004, Fallon returned to NBC in 2009 as host of “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.” By 2014, he would be named host of “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” replacing Jay Leno. “Throughout his time at NBC on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ ‘Late Night’ and ‘The Tonight Show,’ Jimmy Fallon has demonstrated his extraordinary talent and been an integral part of our iconic comedy brand,” said Frances Berwick, Chairman, NBCUniversal Entertainment. “We couldn’t be more excited to continue our relationship with Jimmy and to see him carrying ‘The Tonight Show’ torch into the future.” Every season Fallon has hosted, “The Tonight Show” has ranked #1 (or tied for #1) in the key 18-49 demo. In addition, Fallon has expanded the show’s reach from TV to digital, with nearly 100 million total followers and subscribers across its platforms and more than 8 billion views in 2023 alone. With sketches, songs and celebrity guests, Fallon’s digital presence dominates the space compared to his contemporaries. Fallon is also an EP and panelist on the Emmy-nominated NBC fan-favorite “Password,” which is currently in its second season. “The Tonight Show” is the longest-running talk show on television and the #1 late-night program on digital.

What is the purpose of this thread? It's not very clear.

Re-read the story...

With fans pondering who “General Hospital” executive producer Frank Valentini was alluding to when he told ABC 7’s On the Red Carpet that a former male cast member would be returning to the show this summer, actor Bryan Craig (ex-Morgan Corinthos) on Wednesday decided to join in on the fun as his name had been tossed around as a potential returnee. In a tweet on X (formerly Twitter), Craig said, “Who could it be…….,” in response to a Soap Opera Digest story that included a photo of the actor alongside three other prominent former cast members who the outlet pondered could be returning. Shortly afterward, Craig responded to the story again, this time with a “thinking face” emoji. Craig’s combined tweets have since been seen more than 50,000 times, received more than 700 likes, and generated over 100 comments from fans, many positively. That said, Soap Opera Network has learned that the show has no current plans to revisit the Morgan Corinthos character or for Craig to return as a newly created character. The last time Craig triggered a response from fans about a possible return to the show was in September 2020, when he posted a since-deleted tweet, saying, “I’m ready to work and up for grabs so who’s it gonna be?” Craig’s tweet also tagged the official handles of all four soaps, which came as the dramas were in the midst of taping after a months-long shutdown during the pandemic era. Since exiting the role of Morgan Corinthos in 2016, Craig has gone on to star in such shows as “Valor,” “Grand Hotel,” and, more recently, “Good Trouble.” He appeared in an episode of “Walker” in 2021 and the film “That’s Amor” in 2022, a romantic comedy about a young woman who loses her job the same day she catches her boyfriend cheating on her. Craig played the cheating boyfriend. Riley Dandy, Isaac Gonzalez Rossi, Gregory Zarian (“Venice: The Series,” “General Hospital”) and Paul Witten also starred. So, with Craig not in the running for a return (for now), who do you think it could be?

Weeks after the tragic death of Johnny Wactor, “General Hospital” paid tribute to its fallen former cast member with an on-air title card shown at the conclusion of the Tuesday, June 11 episode — Wactor portrayed Brando Corbin on the daytime drama series from January 2020 through September 2022. “In Loving Memory of Johnny Wactor,” read the card, referencing the beloved 37-year-old actor who was shot and killed in the early morning hours of Saturday, May 25 in downtown Los Angeles after three unidentified suspects were allegedly seen trying to steal a catalytic converter from his vehicle. Wactor and a colleague had just finished working a shift at a local bar when they discovered the theft. Initially, Wactor thought his vehicle was being towed, but he soon realized what was truly going on. “We cautiously approached the men, questioning what they were doing, at first thinking the car was being towed. We were no threat and Johnny kept his cool as he always did, simply stating that it was his car and for them to leave. Hands open to his sides in peace,” his colleague Anita Joy detailed in a post on Instagram about the tragedy. A march to Los Angeles City Hall has been organized by Wactor’s friends and family for Wednesday, June 12, with the hopes that it will raise awareness of the senseless killing as the Los Angeles Police Department has yet to identify any suspects responsible for the murder. For anyone able to attend the march, it will begin on Wednesday, June 12 at 10:00 a.m. PT at the corner of Hope and Pico in Downtown Los Angeles, the same location where Wactor was shot and killed. Attendees are asked to arrive between 9:30-9:45 a.m. Following a press conference with words from Johnny’s family, those gathered will march to Los Angeles City Hall, which is set to adjourn its meeting at 11:45 a.m. in memory of Johnny. At 12:00 p.m., a rally on the steps of City Hall will take place with the hope that the city’s mayor and council members will “hear us.” Johnny Wactor, Bonnie Burroughs ABC/Scott Kirkland/ABC “I would love to see you there,” said Bonnie Burroughs, who played Wactor’s former on-screen mother Gladys on “General Hospital,” in an Instagram post sharing the march’s message: “Johnny deserves justice. WE deserve a safe city.” For more on the #JusticeForJohnnyWactor movement, visit the official Instagram page approved by the Wactor family. A public memorial service will be held at Summerville Baptist Church in Summerville, South Carolina, on Saturday, June 15, reports FOX News. Anyone with information regarding the shooting death of Johnny Wactor is urged to contact LAPD Detectives Gonzales or Martinez at Central Bureau Homicide at (213) 996-4142. During non-business hours or on weekends, calls should be directed to (877) LAPD-24-7 (877-527-3247). Anyone wishing to remain anonymous should call the LA Regional Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (800-222-8477) or go to lacrimestoppers.org.

As the show heads into the summer season, “General Hospital” executive producer Frank Valentini recently revealed that a familiar face is heading back to Port Charles, and viewers are going to “go crazy for HIM.” Valentini’s comments stem from an interview with ABC 7’s On the Red Carpet on Friday night during “The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” as he was fresh off the stage from taking home the show’s fourth consecutive win for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series. Although the show is keeping mum on who the likely returning cast member could be, social media is ablaze with wonder as fans clamor for the return of several favorites, including Bryan Craig as Morgan Corinthos, Jack Wagner as Frisco Jones, Jonathan Jackson as Lucky Spencer, and even Roger Howarth as one of his many former characters. In addition to Valentini teasing, other upcoming plot twists fans can look forward to include wrapping up the FBI storyline and who might get romantically involved with Gio (Giovanni Mazza), among other storyline plots.

UPDATED: Former "General Hospital" co-head writer Dan O'Connor has joined the writing team of "Days of our Lives" as a scriptwriter. His first scripts will air at the end of January 2025.

I also shocked Bryton James when I told him that Abby herself is also a sperm donor baby, so it's not surprising Devon and Abby did the same thing. Haha.

Honestly, didn't realize he did read the site. Now his "two million" viewers comment in his acceptance speech makes more sense 😄. I have a bunch of other interviews, and I must warn people...I had no filter. I shocked myself. Hopefully, it will come off as more funny than rude. Rude wasn't the intent. Example: I told one DAYS star about the show filming eight million years in advance and asked another actor how their show thought it could make viewers believe their character could possibly become a victim of one particular character without making viewers laugh, among other things I said.

Thanks! Elizabeth Korte is the woman. I can't place the other guy right now.
