Jimmy Fallon isn't going anywhere anytime soon, as NBC has extended the comedian's contract to host The Tonight Show.

The network revealed during its Television Critics Association panel on Thursday that Fallon's status on the long-running late-night show is secure through 2021.

That's long enough that we might have had two different, post-Obama presidents by the time his contract expires.
