Thoughts on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon?

[jay_klinkhammer]

3rd show tonight. What do you think so far?






I can understand his jitters. The opening theme is really good. The "Slow Jam News" segment was pretty clever.

I think after just 2 shows, he has started better than Kimmel did his first week. I think Jimmy will be pretty decent after a few months. I will continue to watch as much as I can still.

Also, they have pretty good bands on.

I've yet to see it but then again I didn't really realize he started yet. Can you watch these online already? I know nbc.com usually has stuff up on there.

Haven't watched it, and I'm not going to bother.

I don't know about nbc.com but hulu has them all up, normally each by the next morning.

I only saw the first episode. It's so new. Give him a few years and I think he'll be awesome.

Cool beans. Thanks. I'm gonna try to catch up on them this weekend to see how it's going.

I like it a lot. when he's on his game, the show is so much fun to watch. i also like how he mixes it up a little too, it's not just "monologue-segment-guest1-guest2-musicalguest" like Leno has it.

Ludacris w/ the Roots was sick, too, i hope that becomes a regular thing where other musical guests perform with the Roots.

once he gets comfortable and in a flow, this show might be as good as Late Night with Conan O'Brien. one thing i'd like to see is someone he can banter with throughout the show. can he do that with Black Thought (i'm pretty sure that's him) or is he just gonna stand there doing nothing until a musical transition calls for mc vocals?

Haven't watched yet.

[Matt008]

Hit or miss so far.. he's had a few good bits like "Slow Jamming the News". Thought the "Lick it for 10" bit was dumb.

[ihatecayte]

i think he's still so nervous and awkward about it all.
give him a couples months and i think he'll be exponentially better.

[dpetty21]

Finally watched some of these last night. I'm actually digging it quite a bit.

[just.Starla.]

From what I saw last week, its alright, but I haven't watched any more of it.

[Sal]

I think it's pretty good. Should get once he gets more comfortable.

[briewer]

He giggles before he delivers any punchline or says anything funny. It's so fucking annoying.

[WhoSaidThat?]

I don't like, Jimmy Fallon, but I'll take the high road and assume that he can improve for the future.

[stonecoldfox]

All things considering (like the fact that he was awful on SNL and in his movies) I'm somewhat impressed..I think he needs some time, then ...maybe...I will actually watch his show on regular (once a week tops) basis

[fadedmemories]

I'll give him more time.

[dpetty21]

I know some people aren't so keen on Fallon so who do you guys think would make a better host? I know Conan has some tough shoes to fill so I think Fallon is doing a good job. He obviously won't be Conan but Conando will be back soon enough to make us laugh our pants off. Remember, it could be worse, we could have Carson Daily doing Late Night.

Also Fallon doesn't annoy me at all which is weird. I thought he might. Even though he does laugh before the jokes and during them that's doesnt bother me either. I think it actually makes me laugh a little more.

[AussieBoy]

they shoudve had Rove McManus as host

[Charles777]

I don't get the people who don't even bother to see if they would like it.
