"Drew Barrymore has congratulated her friend Jimmy Fallon for being named the next host of The Tonight Show. NBC confirmed wide speculation this week that Fallon will take over NBC&amp;#039;s long-running late-night series from Jay Leno at the end of the 2014 Winter Olympics.   Fallon has already received well-wishes from rivals Leno, Jimmy Kimmel and Conan O&amp;#039;Brien, and has now been praised by his Fever Pitch co-star Barrymore. &amp;quot;I think he has been so innovative with making viral videos, having people come on and play games. It&amp;#039;s fun for the guest and it&amp;#039;s fun to watch,&amp;quot; Barrymore said of Fallon. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s really done it on his own terms and done it brilliantly.&amp;quot; She continued: &amp;quot;I was like, &amp;#039;Yeah, I knew that was going to happen&amp;#039;. I&amp;#039;m just so happy. I&amp;#039;m so glad that everyone&amp;#039;s so happy for him.&amp;quot; Barrymore also called Fallon a class act for remaining friendly with all of his late-night competitors throughout the years.  &amp;quot;He has remained always classy through whatever goes on in late night,&amp;quot; the actress said. Fallon has been the host of NBC&amp;#039;s Late Night since 2009 and prior to that was a cast member on Saturday Night Live. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
