"Last night in Chicago The Roots announced that they will be retiring from touring EFFECTIVE March 2009. The move is being made to accommodate their new Night Gig as the house band for Jimmy Fallon when he replaces Conan O’Brien as the host of Late Night in March of 2009. Conan will be moved to the Tonight Show."

Sad news for Hip Hop fans but the guys from The Roots must be stoked with the Late Night gig! For more info check out Okayplayer!
