I think it's more a matter of riding your writer's work. I'm with the poster above who is apathetic to Jimmy Fallon's place because this late night talk shows have sucked for years, but his writers are responsible for some awesome sketches starting with his time in the Late Night time slot. I definitely give him ample credit for playing his role in said sketches very well, but I think without that writing staff his personality for the rest of the show wouldn't have ingratiated him with a large enough audience to secure The Tonight Show.

I think he is funny but is constrained by his medium. Late night talk show format is quite restrictive hell even talk shows in general. Ellen for example is one of the funniest and best comedians of all time yet her show is dreadful to watch. Really they can't be too good because the focus is supposed to be on their guests not them.

I agree with this, but I also think Fallon isn't that funny. Not that I hate the guy. He's the gum under my shoe, not the thumbtack under the ball of my foot. One is annoying but will be dealt with...in time, the other needs to be... taken care of...immediately.

Agreed..

Do you know if Fallon brought over his writers from the Late Night spot? I feel like he/his show were funnier back then. I also miss all the off the wall games they would play as well. Like BattleShip, lol..

I've never found him funny in anything he has done.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHkxmJ88Vsc I think this is pretty good and funny. Saying he's untalented is too harsh. He's likeable and pretty talented I think.

He hits or misses, some stuff is great other stuff sucks. But, Leno sucked 100% of the time. Letterman is lame too now.

Don't get me started on Turd Ferguson. That shit is unwatchable.

Easily the most upsetting headline involving Ferguson so far this year.

I think Fergie can be funny, at times. Overall, his Late Night show is AWFUL!!

That talking skeleton, are you kidding!?

I always enjoyed Conan the most but he really goes too much into mocking himself. This is why Kimmel, LEtterman, and Chelsea Handler are the best currently. They could care less about their guests for the most part and it makes for good interviews.

Leno was on the line of kissing ass and asking certain things. I think in time Fallon might change but who knows, he's been doing it for awhile now

Yeah, others have said it but it's true. The guy has charisma and is charming. He's interesting in front of the camera. Plus he's boring enough that his charisma never lead to anything subversive (like Craig ferguson who I think is the funniest mother fucker to ever do late night). Jimmy is lame and is totally fine being lame. He's a like able youth pastor. There is a nativity there that reads well with middle America.

It sounds like I'm belittling Fallon, which I don't mean to, I'm just not a huge fan. I recognize what he's good at and give props to it. I actually think being likable is the most important skill set a Human can own. Pretty much everything boils down to it. Jimmy is the epitome that
Carson and Leno were also likable. The difference between them and Fallon is that they were funny and Fallon is not. The great Late Night hosts were also believable. I mean does anyone really believe Fallon is beside himself excited about Taylor Swift performing at the MTV Music Awards or that he can barely contain himself because she's got a new album coming out? It's cringing to watch.
there is nothing funny about leno.


i can't trust your comedic opinion.
