Is everyone excited for the debut of Late Night W/Jimmy Fallon?

I wanted to hate Daly's show, too, and he's another annoying douche, but he's done a pretty good job with the 1:35 show. Of course, it's only half an hour long, and after the musical guest and the interview, he's only got to write about eight minutes worth of material. But he's done enough to indicate he might be OK over an hour.

Fallon, on the other hand, is unqualified suck and always has been. DeNiro looks like he's going to kill his agent for getting him on this.

 

Tomorrow night is Tina Fey, Drew Barrymore and Carmen Diaz?
He cannot possible screw that up.

 

Don't make me watch it to see. DON'T DO IT!!!

 

agree that timberlake is a first-rate entertainer. multi-talented. i even really enjoyed his role in "alpha dog," a vastly under-appreciated flick, imo. 8) 8) 8)

 

Nice move to have your second guest on your first show prove he'd be a better host than you'd be.

 

Silly me. They're on different nights.


SHHHH, here's my Van.

 

Don't ask him to be Conan. It's not fair.

I don't go in expecting him to be funnier than Conan. I just wonder if he can keep up with Craig Ferguson.

"Space Train" just shows that DeNiro will do anything to get pub for TriBeCa.

 

I get the feeling that some NBC exec patted Fallon on the back and said "F**k this up and you're done in show business" two seconds before he walked onto the stage.

It will be interesting to see how he fares tomorrow. I just might DVR this to check it out.

And as far as Timberlake is concerned, he'd be a better host than a lot of people. That's not Fallon's fault. That's like being angry at Michael Phelps because compared to Payton Manning he sucks as an athlete trying to be funny.

 

In your opinions, when did Conan start to get good? I peg it right around the time of the "Year 2000" skits. It was then that I felt he started really saying "I'm going to do my show and if you don't get it or don't like it, piss off."

The fact that he continued it nine years after the turn of the century only made it funnier.

 

Thing is, Conan was funny, but his delivery was awful.

So, you give that time to grow.

 

Conan just kept getting better until one day it was like "Holy crap, this guy is consistently funny."

 

In this week's Entertainment Weekly, there's a feature on Fallon. In it, Lorne Michaels said he told Fallon the same thing he told O'Brien -- "There is no job after this. You don't go play the third lead in a movie."
