Jimmy Fallon's "Tonight Show" is adapting to the exits of two longtime power players.
First, a producer-writer on Fallon's digital team, jumped to Vox Media. Then showrunner Josh Lieb, who had been with Fallon since February 2014, left for a Universal Television deal. Three other Tonight Show producers will handle some of Lieb's tasks. Tonight continues to far outpace Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert on their respective networks. Fallon's show has more viewers than both total viewers, and remains the top late-night-show channel on YouTube and Facebook. But the election season has boosted buzz for his rivals and their barbed political humor, while Fallon made headlines for his sof treatment of Donald Trump.
