Two DVR-worthy events will be airing after 10:35 this evening. Chronologically, the first is Late Night with David Letterman on CBS at 10:35. Tonight and all week U2 will provide music for Dave, the first time any band has played for Letterman for five straight days. Then Jimmy Fallon takes over for Conan O'Brien (who took over for Dave) on the Late Show. How Jimmy will do is anyone's bet, but no one, including NBC, has bet bigger on Fallon than The Roots. They're his house band, and, if he tanks, their cred is toast. De Niro is the first guest. And here is the rest of it.

Thanks for the reminder....totally forgot. Not sure about Fallon. I really liked him at the desk on SNL and breaking character laughing the cowbell sketch. Not sure he is brainy enough to pull off the Late Late Show gig - Letterman and Conan are goofy but you never question their intelligence, and that's part of why DLP types like them more than (I hope) Kimmell and Leno. We'll see.
