Late Night with Jimmy Fallen

Well, I am a HUGE fan of Conan O'Brien and watched the late night show as often as I could. I decided to watch late night tonight since Jimmy Fallen's first show was tonight. I thought he was alright on SNL, but his acting got kind of annoying and repetitive.

I have to say, I was not impressed at all. I didn't like the set, I didn't like the band, I didn't like the opening skits, and even the interviews. I loved Conan for his opening skits; I think that's what made the show (Chuck Norris lever). All the interviews seemed like they were pre-rehearsed. Jimmy has some big shoes to fill. Can't wait to see Conan on the Tonight Show.

well its his first show cant expect it to be thrown with experience

[Mister.E]

i hate Jimmy Fallon, he a fucking hack

[karl wasabi]

Well the first show should be really spectacular. First impressions are huge.

I mean, they had a skit called "Lick something for $10." Seriously? They brought out a lawnmoer, a damn scanner, and a fish bowl... OH NOES I'M TOO SCARED TO LICK THIS... It was stupid.

i hate Jimmy Fallon, he a fucking hack

He's a tool...

[ESmorz]

Conan sucked for the first 2 years ask anyone.

True story.

True story.


:werd:

Very true that guy was not funny until he got comfy

[WanganRunner]

Conan sucked for the first 2 years ask anyone.

True story.

Yeah, he was horrible.

I think Fallon will be okay. At least he has The Roots.

[CrimsonRockett]

Yeah, I'll give him a chance just because he's new.

Hopefully, once he settles in, it'll be good to go.

If not, screw Jimmy Fallen for destroying the Conan Empire.

[LeftNutOfGowd]

my bed time is at 9pm so I'm not up to watch any of these shows LOL

[2Slow40]

Fallen said he's going to start doing gaming and tech news during the show. That's pretty cool I thought.

The dudes actually pretty techy. I've seen him on some online tech shows. I think he'll be ok.

[Brian]

He was not, is not, and will not be funny.

[Chernobyl]

Give him some time. He'll be ok in a couple months.

[SleepR 240sx]

I don't mind him, but I did love Conan. Conan was better than Leno and anyone else on the air. At least he's not gone. We'll see how Fallon does though.

[S14DB]

Conan sucked for the first 2 years ask anyone.

True story.

His ratings were in the shiter for the first 3yrs. I think Howard Stern was the only one that gave him a positive review for that time period also. All the critics didn't know who he was and ripped him apart.

I trust Lorne Michaels knows what he is doing. It takes a long time to build a fan base. I don't expect to be amazed on the first episode. But, people expected the economy to be fixed and the wars over the day after obama was inaugurated. Doesn't surprise me that they expect a day one show to be as refined as a 2,725 episode show.

[Bubbles]

The difference, the big difference............the motherfucking HUGE difference between Fallon and Conan is if you take away the fan base, the experience, the show and everything; is Fallon is not as funny as Conan.


He will get more relaxed, more known, and more comfortable but he just won't get funnier.

for those of you that missed it. im watching it right now...

[SimpleSexy180]

how can you not like the roots??

i think jimmy fallon will do just fine.

You don't like The Roots!? WTF. I don't even know how he was able to pull that off (having them as the house band). The set looks nice. Conan's going to be getting a new set too, wonder how that's going to look like.

Conan wasn't great when he started out either, he mentioned this during his last week. It was rough in the beginning and they wanted to cancel him at times. it took a long time for him to develop his own style and rhythm, and its going to be the same for Fallon. Remember Conan had to fill some big shoes too. He was replacing Letterman, and he acknowledged that Letterman set the bar really high for him and he still has mad respect for him.

[S13_Nightkid]

Yeah, he was horrible.

I think Fallon will be okay. At least he has The Roots.:snoop:
The only reason I'll watch it.

Jimmy Fallon is not funny.

No. I don't know who they are. haha. I'm ignorant to music of that genre. :bite:

[Antihero983]

He was not, is not, and will not be funny.

wowza...the THIRD time i've been in agreement with Brian...weird.

but yeah, Jimmy Fallon is about as funny as someone's parent's funeral.

However, +1 for the Roots being the in house band.

[atom]

Yeah, there is a big difference between Conan and Fallon. Even though Conan sucked when he started (if you watch the early interviews they were PAINFUL), I mean he was a writer on the simpsons and SNL when it was kinda good so you know he had the chops to be funny. He wrote the freakin monorail episode of the simpsons. That one episode was better than everything Fallon has done combined.

I hope Fallon has a really good team behind him. It's kinda cool seeing the roots every night.

[MrBrightSide]

A complete fail on NBC's behalf picking Jimmy Fallon for the late show. I didnt laugh once, all his jokes are lame and so is he. Chris Kattan would have been a wayyy better host for the late show imo.

Someone should get a petition going and get Jimmy off the show... SERIOUSLY the guy SUCKS!!!

[karl wasabi]

Another awesome host would have been Tina Fey. She is such an awesome writer. I love 30 Rock.

I'm finna watch it again tonight and see if it gets any better. He does have a lot of good stars coming on his show.

[Mister.E]

Chris Kattan posesses a level of fail equal to that of Jimmy Fallon's. In other words, they both fucking suck

[ESmorz]

Last Night's was exponentially better than the first show.

He may not be funny but that's what writers are for.

No one will ever match Craig Ferguson.

[Mister.E]

No one will ever match Craig Ferguson.

he is probably the worst i have seen

[ESmorz]

he is probably the worst i have seen

It's fresh every night.

Unlike every other late night show host.

[karl wasabi]

Well I managed to watch the show on NBC.com when I had some free time. The monologue again sucked...he needs to work on that. But, I did like the interview with Tina Fey.

[DUFFM4N]

Tina Fey interview was good...rest of the show wasnt amazing...but ill still give him a chance, because im a nice guy...right?

[karl wasabi]

Why yes you are...

[TiNMAN]

yea, i've caught 2 nights of it already

right now...its really crappy

he's not comfortable at all yet

i hope it gets better


THE ROOTS = TEH WIN

just don't know about on late night :-/

[bboyt3nsk]

I think he has some potential. Especially, with the Roots How do you not like a jaz influenced "hip-hop" /cover band?! Their "The Band" for this generation.

[aziankingz]

i would like to watch will farrell..

[DUFFM4N]

i would like to watch will farrell..

he's played out...all his shit is repetitive

[ESmorz]

His skits are terribly awkward and seem forced.

His interviews are actually pretty funny.

I don't know what to amke of this.

[Gnnr]

He's getting more relaxed with each episode. I liked ?uestlove's response to the bromance part last night. haha.

And if you haven't seen it- The Roots slow jamming the news:

Late Night with Jimmy Fallon - Slow Jam The News (3/2/09) - Video - NBC.com (http://www.latenightwithjimmyfallon.com/video/clips/slow-jam-the-news-3209/1049102/)

[DUFFM4N]

slow jamming the news was funny

[TiNMAN]

slow jamming the news was funny

yea, that was pretty funny

[ESmorz]

Ludacris w/ The Roots was pretty good.

I was surprised.

[GluedMyNuts]

I just saw the one last night and I was not a bit impressed at all. Awkward looking set and didn't like the band. His jokes SUCKED. I somehow got through the whole show though. Perhaps I wanted to see how much lamer he can get. I'm definitely not staying up for his show. I cant wait to see CONEZY!!

[SimpleSexy180]

lmao. i love the flashback skit.

[GluedMyNuts]

The Putt Putt bit was lame. I didn't find any part of it funny at all. The flashback dude was a better actor than Jimmy.
