Robert De Niro and Van Morrison will be Jimmy Fallon's first night guests on March 2nd, when Fallon takes over from Conan O'Brien as the host of "Late Night" on NBC.

Other guests announced for the first week include Donald Trump, Serena Williams, Bon Jovi, Cameron Diaz, and Fallon's old SNL alum and 30 Rock star, Tina Fey.

And in case you missed it, one of the ongoing guests of the new "Late Night" will be none other than hip-hop heavyweights The Roots, who have signed on as the show's regular live band.

If Jimmy Fallon is nervous about the premiere of his new gig as "Late Night" host, he'll have show-biz heavyweights Robert De Niro and Van Morrison to lean on. They'll be the guests for Fallon's March 2 debut hosting the NBC late-night show.

Morrison will perform material from his critically praised "Astral Weeks" album.

NBC says Tina Fey, Jon Bon Jovi, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, Donald Trump and Serena Williams are among other guests scheduled for Fallon's first week on "Late Night."
