G4 veteran joins Jimmy Fallon

Best of Jimmy FallonLeaving G4's signature daily series Attack of the Show, executive producer Gavin Purcell will be going to network television as he joins the crew of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon as co-producer.

Fallon says Purcell was hired because of the pop culture sensibility of Attack of the Show, which he also wants in his own late night program.

I like Attack of the Show and have ambivalent feelings regarding Fallon on late night. He never seemed particularly impressive on Saturday Night Live, but perhaps he didn't get a chance to shine that he otherwise would with a solo gig (similar to certain other SNL alumni like Chris Rock). Hopefully, adding Purcell to his team will give his late night show a unique flavor that will distinguish it from others or his predecessor.

Some of our TV Squad team have appeared on Attack of the Show during Purcell's tenure. I wonder if now they'll be asking us to appear on Jimmy Fallon's show? It would be nice. I'm ready for ya, Jimmy.

Wow. How fat is Joel Keller that you call him "some of our team"?

He linked to one of our posts as an example, but I've been on AotS a few times as well.

Maybe Purcell can make Fallon funny. Purcell has his work cut of for him.
