In November 2019, Gavin Purcell took over the reigns of the late-night show from Bell despite having landed an overall development deal with NBC Universal in March of last year.
Last year, Jim Bell stepped down from his gig as The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’s showrunner.
Per Deadline, Purcell has stepped down to carry on with his development deal and is being replaced as showrunner by Jamie Granet-Bederman.
Bell had been promoted to the role in 2018 following Mike DiCenzo’s departure.
