U2, Will Smith announced as Jimmy Fallon's first 'Tonight Show' guests

Jimmy Fallon can rest a little bit easier. His first guests for his stint on The Tonight Show have been booked. According to The Hollywood Reporter, legendary rockers U2 and actor/musician Will Smith will be the first to grace the latest edition of the late night talk show.

U2 will take the stage on Fallon's new show to help promote its Oscar-nominated (and Golden Globe winning) song "Ordinary Love" from the biopic Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. In addition to the Nelson Mandela-inspired track, U2 will also likely be promoting its upcoming 13th studio album, due out sometime in 2014.

That record will be the first release since 2009's No Line on the Horizon.

Meanwhile, Smith will appear on The Tonight Show to push his latest feature film Focus.

A third guest has yet to be announced. Others who will stop by Fallon's initial Tonight Show weeks will surely be revealed in the next few weeks. According to THR, Fallon has said the first three weeks' musical guests have already been booked.

The big-name guests will surely launch the show off on a high note, as Fallon takes the reins from Tonight Show favorite Jay Leno.

The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon will premiere on Feb. 17 on NBC. Fallon will take over the program after hosting Late Night since 2009.
