WDIV anchor Devin Scillian gushes over new "Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon, who visited the station to promote Monday night's debut.
Scillian writes on the WDIV website:
You never know what quite to expect when one of the stars of the network makes the round at the affiliates.
The day before Jimmy Fallon’s visit, there was a fair amount of planning and primping going on around our studios, hoping to make the most of the time we were going to have with Jimmy.
The worries, I’m happy to report, were a waste of our time.
I’m not sure we’ve had a lower maintenance guest than Jimmy. He was up for just about anything, and all of it with a genuine warmth and friendliness that erased any sense that this was just the perfunctory, obligatory dance with the local stations. Jimmy has a wide-eyed sense of wonder that makes him seem even more youthful than he is. And it helped me quickly realize how his show has been so successful.
