The New Convergence: Jimmy Fallon And Diggnation

In a sign that a new Web-centric generation is moving into the late-night talk show scene, after only a week and a half on the air, NBC's "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" hosted guests who are much more Silicon Valley than Hollywood.

On Wednesday Fallon interviewed Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht--co-hosts of Diggnation, a weekly online show in which the two talk about the most popular stories on Digg. For the uninitiated, Digg is a social-news Web site in which users submit and vote on the articles that hit the home page.

During his show, Fallon called Diggnation one of the most popular shows on the Internet. Some of the Digg fans were in the front row, having waited in line for hours to get tickets. Fallon has already appeared on Diggnation, and lately both Rose and Albrecht have been putting in good words for him in Twitter messages to their online followers.
