Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

WOW.

So more fake laughing from Jimmy Fallon.

And again, the monologue sucked ass. (Although that could be the fault of the writers.) Did anyone catch the part where Jimmy said he was going to "rap the monologue." And then they cut to The Roots. And The Roots did not look mildly amused? And how could they...The Roots are a rare critically acclaimed/grammy winning and TALENTED group.

He also stared at the teleprompter during the monologue and during the lame magazine thing.

And I can't get over his interview style. The awkward, fake laugh guy...is not working. I hope that after a few weeks he gets Interviewing 101 lessons from a producer.

It's still just the second week, but like I said...we have Ferguson who is both energetic and funny 2 channels over.

what the fuck!! diggnation on Jimmy Fallon? Seriously? This is what is going to boost a show that is already awkward because the host is learning how to not be nervous while interviewing/reading the cue cards.

I thought it was a disaster. The audience agrees. Also, diggnation has always sucked so ummm....yeah.

I'm thinking, unlike Conan who showed marked improvement over time, Fallon will have a short-lived reign as host.

I like how russell brand, the funniest thing to happen to Fallon's show, just sat there looking bored and confused.

Okay..that was actually kind of funny...but even I could have presented that on live TV.

I'm watching right now.

I don't like Jimmy Fallon so this will be interesting.

When he falls flat he really falls flat hard. I don't know if I can keep watching this.

Conan was an SNL/Simpsons writer with basically NO TV experience going into his hosting career....so not only was it more understandable for him to be nervous and to suck at interviewing, but it was arguably excusable.

Jimmy Fallon was on SNL for many years. He also hosted SNL's Weekend Update...which is basically like a talk show. He was nervous and quirky on that too....so I dunno. It may just be his "style" that we are seeing.

Personally though, I do not think he will improve to the extent that Conan did. However, if he finds a niche good for him. The first step in my opinion is to cut out all this gadget stuff....I feel like his show is a commercial for Palm or Apple.
