Not only is Andy Cohen the host of Bravo's live, late-night talk show "Watch What Happens Live," he is also the Executive Vice President of Development and Talent at the Bravo cable television network, a subsidiary of NBC Universal — the same network on which "Late Night" airs.

He is also the author of a memoir titled "Most Talkative: Stories from the Front Lines of Pop Culture" and is the first openly gay host of a late night talk show, which could make things interesting.

Not to mention, Cohen is close personal friends with Jimmy Fallon, which could make the transition very smooth.

Despite the fact that Carson Daly's "Last Call with Carson Daly" airs directly after Jimmy Fallon's "Late Night," no one is talking about the former MTV "TRL" host taking over Fallon's gig.

For one, he's not a comedian. At all. And secondly, the 39-year-old's show format is more music-based and rogue, often taping shows on the road. 

Comedian Paul F. Tompkins is one of comedy site Splitsider's top picks to replace Jimmy Fallon.

In addition to hosting VH1's "Best Week Ever," he also has a successful podcast and is a Comedy Central favorite.

"A 'Conan' regular and an accomplished stand-up and sketch writer/performer who's been christened 'The Mayor of Podcasting' by his peers, Tompkins would be a boon to any late night show," writes Splitsider's Bradford Evans. "His abilities as a stand-up (demonstrated most recently on his excellent special/album 'Laboring Under Delusions'), interviewer (seen on his web series 'Speakeasy'), and impressionist (on the podcast 'Comedy Bang Bang' and his own 'Pod F. Tompkast') would all come in handy and make him one of the most well-rounded late night hosts ever."

While no one is really talking about it yet, Joel McHale could be a brilliant choice to take over Jimmy Fallon's "Late Night" gig.

Not only is he 41-years-young with a quirky sense of humor that he displays weekly on the comedic E! TV roundup show, he also has a background in stand up comedy and is already in the NBC family with his show "Community."

With "Community" currently on hiatus, it's a perfect time for McHale to swoop in and steal the late night spotlight.

Another Splitsider top choice to replace Jimmy Fallon, Bill Hader already has the "in" with "Late Night" Executive Producer Lorne Michaels, who is also the EVP of "Saturday Night Live."

Hader is used to live television, a talented impressionist and has learned how NOT to host a talk show from years of playing Italian interviewer Vinny Vedecci on "SNL."

Chelsea Handler has two successful late night shows on E!, which, along with "Late Night" network NBC, is owned by Comcast, putting them in the same family.

Handler, also a best-selling author, has been a popular guest on Leno in the past, often jazzing him. 

Even way back in 2011, Business Insider's own Megan Angelo saw the possible Leno-out-Handler-in switch up coming: "If Jimmy Fallon takes over, Handler could move into his 'Late Night' spot — a slot that Fallon has pumped up via his innovative, positive, web-friendly show. (Speaking of 'positive,' he and the sour-funny Handler could make good foils for each other.)"

"At that point, all Handler has to do is wait," Angelo continued. "For people to change jobs, for female-centric primetime comedy to bolster the push for a late-night lady — and keep up her winning streak."

Tina Fey was a hit as co-host of this year's Golden Globes, but she's already ruled out hosting the Oscars, saying "there's no way" she would do it because of "the amount of months that would be spent trying on dresses alone."

While the mother of two has some free time on her hands now that "30 Rock" wrapped up this year, she already has two films lined up for 2014.

But that doesn't mean that NBC doesn't want her for the "Late Night" gig.

"Tina Fey’s name had also come up," reports the New York Post, "but she has said she was too busy to do it.”

Amy Poehler did an incredible job co-hosting this year's Golden Globes alongside pal Tina Fey.

While Fey slammed reports that she would consider hosting the Oscars with a resounding "No way," Poehler has remained mum on the topic, not saying yes or no.

This leads us to believe that Poehler is open to the idea of hosting the Oscars and thus would be open to the idea of hosting her own late night show.

Not only does she have the improv experience required for opening monologues and celebrity interviews, but she's also tight with "Late Night" executive producer Lorne Michaels — her boss at "Saturday Night Live" from 2001-2010.

Plus, Poehler's "Parks and Recreation" is already on NBC, so why not expand her opportunities at the network?

And Gothamist agrees, "Amy Poehler should host everything. The end."

Seth Meyers is the front-runner to take Jimmy Fallon's "Late Night" time slot should he depart for the "Tonight Show."

Currently the head writer at “Saturday Night Live” and “Weekend Update” host, he has the vote of Lorne Michaels, who is the executive producer at both "SNL" and "Late Night."

“Lorne Michaels wants Seth to take over from Fallon,” a source told The New York Post on Friday. "It would be perfect for him."

Especially if the show is moved to New York, which is rumored to be happening.
