WHAT DID YOU MISS WITH MICKEY ALEXANDER AND THE Z-107.5 MORNING SHOW TODAY?

"Saturday Night Live" veteran Jimmy Fallon was officially named on Monday to take Conan O'Brien's place on NBC next year when O'Brien succeeds Jay Leno as host of "The Tonight Show."   The announcement, which had been expected for weeks, was made during a press event from NBC headquarters in New York where O'Brien's "Late Night" show is taped.   The appointment of Fallon, long considered a leading contender for NBC's 12:35 a.m. time slot, completes a talent shuffle set in motion when the General Electric Co-owned network announced in 2004 that Leno would retire from "Tonight" in 2009 and that O'Brien would replace him.   "It's going to be a grind, it's going to be hard, but I'm going to go at it full force," the boyish-looking Fallon told reporters on a conference call. "The fact that I'm stepping into David Letterman and Conan O'Brien's shoes is very exciting."   Fallon said he also was excited to go back to work for Lorne Michaels, who was his boss as producer of "Saturday Night Live" and whose company co-produces "Late Night."   Fallon, 33, appeared on "SNL" for six seasons and was co-host of its "Weekend Update" segment. He left the program to focus on making feature films, although such efforts as "Fever Pitch" and "Taxi" fell flat at box offices.   Like Fallon, O'Brien, 45, cut his comedy-writing teeth on "Saturday Night Live" before landing the "Late Night" job, but he had far less on-screen time than Fallon.   Candy Assault Des Moines, Iowa ... A college student was charged with assaulting a police officer ... with M&Ms. Sean McGuire, 20, was arrested early Sunday at a convenience store after Drake University security guards noticed the candies falling on the ground around the officer, who was investigating a hit-and-run accident involving an allegedly intoxicated man. When the officer turned around, an M&M hit his shoulder, according to a police report. McGuire claimed he threw the candy because he was "sticking up for his friend," who was reportedly the suspect in the hit-and-run. SPEED RACER STUNK WORSE THAN FIRST THOUGHT _ Speed Racer’s wreck at the box office was worse than expected. When all the tickets were finally counted Monday, film racked up just $18.7 million, not the $20.2 million Warner Bros. claimed on Sunday. That put the debut in third place, behind the low-budget comedy What Happens in Vegas. IRON MAN MOVES CLOSE TO $350 MILLION WORLDWIDE _ After all the weekend numbers were counted on Monday, it appears Iron Man's worldwide take is just a few million shy of $350 million in ticket sales -- in under two weeks. THE ELECTRIC COMPANY IS COMING BACK _ PBS is powering The Electric Company back up starting in January. The 1970s-era educational show -- whose regulars included Morgan Freeman, Rita Moreno and Bill Cosby -- starts production on new episodes this week and is geared, as always, to the six-to-nine year-old set. The series was originally geared toward kids who graduated from Sesame Street. As was the case in the original series, music videos, sketch comedy, animation and short films will be used to teach kids that reading can be fun.
