It seems like The Roots will be joining the ranks of Jimmy Kimmel's Cleto and The Cletones, and the CBS Orchestra in March next year. Apparently, The Roots are rumoured to be joining Jimmy Fallon (of SNL fame) on his new late night talk show as the full-time house band. This will mean that the band will be taking a break from their back-to-back tour dates.
Jimmy Fallon will be taking over Conan O'Brien's Late Night slot when the latter moves over to Jay Leno's Tonight Show.
