Jimmy Fallon will debut as the host of “Late Night” on the internet, not on television.

Fallon will take over the NBC show when Conan O’Brien, who is the current host, will replace Jay Leno in his “Tonight” show next year.

“Late Night” longtime executive producer Lorne Michaels said did not know yet which site he would use to post the new shows featuring Fallon, but he said the online episodes were very likely to begin in the fall. He added that the show would be released nightly at 12:30 a.m. and episodes would only be 5 or 10 minutes long.

NBC is expected to announce the changes in its shows tomorrow, informing about the transition from Leno to O’Brien and from O’Brien to Fallon.

Explaining the reasons for releasing the show online, Michaels said he thought the Internet would allow Fallon more freedom to speak and act as he wished, “more opportunity for experimentation,” The New York Times informs. He also added that they had no intention to push the limits too far in what concerns the content.

“I think we’re our own censors,” he said, according to The Times.

Also, Michaels thinks that Jimmy would have time to experiment and realize how his show wants to be, before it is broadcasted on television. The online episodes could also help building an audience for the TV show that could follow.

Regarding the audience, NBC has always had late-night dominance, especially due to Jay Leno, which the network wants to keep with a different job than the host of “Tonight.”
