Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

Report: Fallon To Replace O'Brien On 'Late Night'

Jimmy Fallon has been tapped to replace Conan O'Brien on NBC's Late Night when O'Brien takes over hosting duties on The Tonight Show from Jay Leno next year, Fox.com entertainment columnist Roger Friedman reported today (Thursday), saying it was "a done deal." Friedman, who cited no sources, said that NBC plans to make a formal announcement around May 11th when it presents its fall schedule to advertisers.

I think our Fallon would make a better host.

[Friday]

Congrats Bawby!!! :clap:

does this mean no more custodial engineering?? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[DolaMight]

I think our Fallon would make a better host.

A trained bear with a microphone strapped to his head would make a better host.

[spoon]

I think our Fallon would make a better host.

Yeah, Jimmy Fallon IS NOT a good idea. Why not just go Magic Johnson or Chevy Chase!? :thumbdown:

[Freakshow]

Is Nomaaaahh going to be his co-host? Yeesh. :thumbdown:

[BoondockSaint]

They should have gone with Norm MacDonald.

[jonyrotn]

They won't give Lenay a shot at this either?
Fucking Hollywood pricks.

[foodcourtdruide]

I can't wait to never watch this show.

[DolaMight]

They should have gone with Norm MacDonald.

with sidekick frank stallone.

Media execs always have to go with brand name over experience. He'll do just as well as Van Halen did after stern. There's so many other candidates that could pull this off better. Carson Daily would fare better.

[K.C.]

Somewhere Carson Daly just flipped over a desk.

[Dougie Brootal]

i was gonna come in here and make a bobby fallon joke, but now its just bandwagon jumping. just as well, no one wouldve laughed at mine anyways.

[Epschtein]

i flipped by conan for the first time in a long time the other night, i had almost forgotten how freakishly misshapen his head is, the guy has a goddamn cartoon head.

[Dougie Brootal]

They won't give Lenay a shot at this either?
Fucking Hollywood pricks.

:lol:

[pennington]

A nervous, uncomfortable guy who constantly makes comments taking over for another nervous, uncomfortable guy who constantly makes comments. Good going NBC.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

uggh

wish it was Bawby, not that talentless Jimmy

[Kevin]

Safe to say i shall not watch one show.

[Fallon]

I hope he sings this to open every show.

[SyndicateParish]

How about Steve Cobert?

Fallon reminds me of Chris Kattan.

[PapaBear]

Pre English speaking Conan the Barbarian would do a better job.

[fezident]

I think Sarah Silverman would've been a great choice. She's smart... pretty... sharp... and, it's about friggin' time a women owned a slot in Late Night.
And... there's the added drama of her being Kimmels GF.


Amy Sedaris is a great choice.

Tina Fey would've been a great host too but, she's obviously going on to bigger & better things.

[A.J.]

Nice coice Fezident,
I change my vote from Cobert to Sarah Silverman. She might be pretty good. Tina Fey would be good too.

[fezident]

I would watch LATE NIGHT WITH BOB ODENKIRK.


He'd be pretty solid.

[Doctor Z]

I would say that this idea is a guaranteed bomb, but then I remembered that the general public thinks Jimmy Fallon is cute and hilarious.

And besides, if Carson Daily can hold onto a show these days, anyone can.

and this. Love the matching hair, guys.

I'd fold if I were you. Joan Rivers with Husker Du is pretty tough to top.

[KnoxHarrington]

Well, you won't need a studio audience for Fallon's show, because that bastard will be laughing at his own jokes enough.

[Furtherman]

The news was broken with a Ron & Fez Spy Report...Spy Report... NBC making announcement now.

[DolaMight]

Well, you won't need a studio audience for Fallon's show, because that bastard will be laughing at his own jokes enough.

and saying snap after jokes then getting up and dancing. Oh his little holding in laughter grin after an awful hack joke is so cringe to watch.

NBC is on the ball, he's a great dancer therefore he'll make a great host.

[SatCam]

Sorry :happy:

[hammersavage]

Premiers at 12:35 tonight people. I'll give the guy a chance. No one could have thought Conan would be as good as he was when he got the gig (except Lorne).

He's had an interesting career. Never a superstar on SNL but did do WU. Taxi and Fever Pitch both stunk but he'll always have a place in my heart because of a role in Almost Famous and a cameo in Band of Brothers.

Be watching.

[hammersavage]

Great opening bit with Conan. A Gervis from Survivor mention.

Deniro, Timberlake, and Van the Man. Should be a good show.

[led37zep]

The ROOTS took a house band gig?

[hammersavage]

Steve Higgins long time SNL writer is his announcer. Didn't know he had the gig.

First monologue joke a swing and a miss.

[led37zep]

First four jokes.

http://freeskies.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/car_crash_1.jpg

[PapaBear]

Damn, this looks painful.

[hammersavage]

he's a little shaky. But his audience is receptive if a little bit unruley. I've never heard Conan's crowd be so vocal.

[led37zep]

This bit isn't half bad.

Slow Jammin' the news.

[KnoxHarrington]

Seriously, do the Roots need a gig this badly?

[hammersavage]

I liked the slow jam bit. Use ?uestlove! He was funny on Chappelle Show

[hammersavage]

This blond mothers bit feels like a Conan bit with the cut to the crowd and all. I hope he keeps Conan's irreverance.

First game coming up next. What the hell that mean?


I want to see I Love You, Man. Looks funny.

[fezident]

That was rough but, I think he has liftoff now.
He was cleeeearly a nervous wreck for a while there. That was cringey.

I suspect that he'll be fine now that he's behind a desk. From here on out.... it's light lifting.

[hammersavage]

I love his stage. It looks like a classic set with the parque floor and all.

This feels like a Letterman bit. A mix of Letterman and Conan's humor would be great.

[KnoxHarrington]

Wow, this Lick It For Ten bit is bad.

[TooLowBrow]

this lick bit is taking too long with too little payoff

like a bad snl bit

[led37zep]

Wow, this Lick It For Ten bit is bad.

it could be SOOOOO much funnier if they give this third guy something phallic looking.

[hammersavage]

Not a good bit. Its a Letterman bit but without Letterman's chops to improve and play off the contestants. He'll get better at it.

[hammersavage]

that made Chevy Chase look like Carson. And DeNiro is a terrible talk show guest. What is he promoting anyway?

[TooLowBrow]

[PapaBear]

Did they seriously just play the theme from Taxi?:wallbash:

[hammersavage]

This is pretty smart playing off DeNiro's uncomfortable rep.

[KnoxHarrington]

Oh dear god

[hammersavage]

I like the acknowledgement of DeNiro's short answers. When it tries to be a real interview, its painful

[led37zep]

Oh...Cool. See....now the world knows what Tribeca means.


Thanks Jimmy!

[PapaBear]

they Played The Theme From Taxi!!!!

[hammersavage]

Oh no........

[led37zep]

Holy shit....I'm uncomfortable now

[PapaBear]

the Tv Show Taxi!!!

[hammersavage]

This is Latka, right?

[PapaBear]

why Can't I Post All In Caps?

[led37zep]

why Can't I Post All In Caps?

I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!!

[TooLowBrow]

why Can't I Post All In Caps?

i wonder who's the 'witty' writer on the show

[PapaBear]

I DON'T KNOW!!!!!!!!
SHOW OFF!!!

EDIT: DAMMIT! WHY DID IT WORK THIS TIME?

[KnoxHarrington]

And thus ends the first, and only, time I will watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.

[led37zep]

SHOW OFF!!!

COPY CAT!

[hammersavage]

Get To Van Already!

[KnoxHarrington]

I'm following a Twitter feed on the show, and the reaction si brutal. Some good ones:



"Is Jimmy Fallon hiring writers who were too crappy to write crappy skits for SNL?"

"Seriously, who thought it was a good idea to give Jimmy Fallon an interview show? The man was the worst part of SNL, and his movies sucked."

"Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" has a gross orange glow. Also, a distinct stench of UNFUNNY.



And the winner is...

JIMMY FALLON IS ABOUT AS FUNNY AS DATE RAPE

[drusilla]

this was pretty painful. i turned it on right as deniro was walking out. jimmy is a stuttering bastard.


& when ever i try to post in all caps it comes out with only the first letter of each word in caps too. what's up with that?

I think it's something this board does if all characters in a post are in caps. An anti-shouting measure, if you will.

[hammersavage]

BUT BEFFERS!!!


It worked for me. JT in the house.

[drusilla]

sometimes i want to shout

[hammersavage]

At least Timberlake has a personality.

[TooLowBrow]

Timberlake Wouldve Been A Better Host

[hammersavage]

That looked like the David Fincher film 'The Game' meets Punk'd. I'll check it out.

[TooLowBrow]

Timberlake Wouldve Been A Better Host

i take that back

[hammersavage]

Bud Light Lime is the perfect sponsor for this so far.

[PapaBear]

Timberlake just called someone else "Metro".

[TooLowBrow]

i take that back

im gonna untake it back

[hammersavage]

He does these impressions, they sound like the real person.

DeNiro just sitting there not getting it.

[hammersavage]

Van is still the king. Very few have ever been better.

[drusilla]

i don't know if i want to punish myself again by watching tina fey tomorrow night

[hammersavage]

Ok, Van made this worth it.


First show falls somewhere between Magic Johnson and Steve Allen.

[drusilla]

i guess nothing will ever be as bad as carson's show

[hammersavage]

He's doing a show outside the studio looking for new music? That's terrible.

[razorboy]

First show falls somewhere between Magic Johnson and Steve Allen.

Chevy Chase?

[NickyL0885]

Craig Ferguson said it best when he said to give Jimmy at least a month before you judge him. You can't base everything off one show. It will take time to work out the kinks and such. I'm sure Jimmy was nervous.

[Dave's Cackle]

It will take time to work out the kinks and such. I'm sure Jimmy was nervous.

They can work out of kinks but they can't work out TEH SUCK :bye:

[hotshot70]

ell, Fez predicted this show will not last long, and I think Fez was correct. This show is HORRIBLE! Fallon is not good with comedy that lasts longer than 5 minutes. His delivery of jokes in his monologue was terrible. He kept pausing, hoping for huge laughs (which there were none). The jokes were pretty much the same as Leno's (who is also not funny anymore). Then he did a skit called "Lick It For A Ten", where items were brought out (a lot like the old Let's Make A Deal) and he had people lick them. The first guy licked a lawn mower and for doing it he got 10 bucks. Wouldn't a better prize be the lawn mower? The a girl licked a office printer/copier and the last guy licked a goldfish bowl. It would have been funnier if he was made to lick the goldfish and not the bowl! His interview with Deniro was the worst! Jimmy didn't know what to ask and every question basically reflected back to him (like Tyra does). Deniro looked so uncomfortable. It looked like he wanted to leave. The "Space Train" skit looked like a SNL skit that was too stupid for SNL. The interview with Timberlake was also a nightmare. But this time, Jimmy wasn't the only asshole out there. Justin was a total douche as well. They talked about their Bee Gees skit on SNL, then JT went into mocking Michael McDonald (HOW CURRENT! NOT!) Finally, Van Morrison played some music. Odd, he could have had JT do music, but instead they go with Van Morrison.
In closing, I think the show is doomed without a lot of retooling, like maybe Conan back! Will he make it? I don't think so. Time will tell.

[KnoxHarrington]

To me, the problem with the show last night was that it seemed to confirm everything people thought a Fallon show would be: he was uncomfortable, he did laugh at his own jokes (or really looked like he was working at trying not to laugh at his own jokes), and he couldn't do anything with a guest he hadn't worked with before. Which was what all the detractors of his hiring said he'd do.

Yeah, I get the thing about how he has to be given some time, but I don't think it was just first night jitters. I don't think that he fits this format.

[KingModem]

Jimmy looked exceptionally nervous. But then again, anytime I have seen him on television he has always been very unprofessional.

Luckily him laughing during the cowbell skit on SNL was well-received.

For some reason I feel like Lorne Mikes must be Jimmy's uncle or something, or else he wouldnt get these breaks.

[Furtherman]

I think we have to remember how uncomfortable and nervous Conan was when he started, and he was pummeled with reviews.

I'm not sticking up for the guy, but one show does not a career make.

[hydee]

Craig Ferguson said it best when he said to give Jimmy at least a month before you judge him. You can't base everything off one show. It will take time to work out the kinks and such. I'm sure Jimmy was nervous.

Hey I loved Dule Hill on The West Wing what show is your banner from? I didn't even know he had a new gig.

Exactly. I really haven't like Fallon at all, but this is a totally new thing for him. In hindsight, Conan had some bright moments in his first couple of months that make it seem a LOT better than it was, but his first few weeks were BRUTAL to watch for the most part.

[drusilla]

Hey I loved Dule Hill on The West Wing what show is your banner from? I didn't even know he had a new gig.

the show psych (http://www.usanetwork.com/series/psych/video/fullep/) on usa. its possibly my favorite thing on television.

[fezident]

Hey Buddays.
I went to a taping of Jimmy's show and I had a great time.

I've been to at least 50 tapings of Conan's show and I gotta say, Jimmy's show is a much better experience.
The whole thing is done on-the-cheap. It feels "slapped together" (which of course, it isn't)

For some reason... the crowd is much more energetic and interactive with each other... and with the host. Jimmy mingles during the station breaks and when he's not, you can see that he's truly diggin' The Roots.
Maybe it's a bad thing but, it almost feels like the audience doesn't take him seriously. It's as if we're watching a skit. I can't explain it any other way other than to say, the whole thing feels like a joke.
It's a lot of fun.

I think Norm McDonald is coming up soon. I'm definitely going to that one.

[TheMojoPin]

I don't get you.

[fezident]

There's a new talk show. They haven't quite found their sea-legs. Tickets were/are free. Tina Fey was 25 feet away. The Roots completely botched "Wanted Dead Or Alive". The crowd had a great time.

What's not to get?

[TheMojoPin]

That's not what I didn't get.

[fezident]

Yes. I get it Mo.
You hate things that are commercial and/or intended for mass consumption.
I, on the other hand, do not.

We get each other.

[TheMojoPin]

You hate things that are commercial and/or intended for mass consumption.

False.

[Judge Smails]

I don't like Jimmy Fallon and have never liked anything he's ever done. I couldn't stand his cutesy, cracking himself up bit in the middle of sketches on SNL, didn't think he was anything special on Weekend Update and his craptacular movies speak for themselves. From what I've seen from his first week I've gotten douche chills.

That being said - I've been a huge fan of David Letterman ever since he had a daytime/morning show. I grew up on Late Night with David Letterman and when he left I was very skeptical of Conan taking over. I don't know if anyone fully remembers how brutal Conan's first year was. I recall him looking FAR more uncomfortable than Fallon even looks. I would never in a million years believe, back then, that Conan would have ever lasted more than his initial contract much less go on to the Tonight Show. And I would've kicked you in the nuts if you ever told me that I'd wind up finding him funnier than Letterman.

With that in mind - even though I can't stand him - I'm holding off passing a verdict on Fallon just yet.

[fezident]

I know exactly what you mean.
He was green, annoying, and painfully unfunny. But... he eventually found his stride (such as it is) and now he's in the history books.
Amazing how that happens sometimes.

Yeah, I'm willing to see if he can grow into it like Conan did, but like you said, the guy has done NOTHING that hasn't made me cringe or at least think he's a horriby unfunny, floppy-haired douche. Conan at least had the cred of having written some of the best Simpsons episodes and some really great SNL sketches. Fallon has a track record of really unremarkable mediocrity or worse.

It would be cool if Fallon could turn into a really funny and capable host, but I'll believe it when I see it.

At least the Roots are on TV.

[RoseBlood]

Jimmy Fallon looks just like Ted from How I Met Your Mother.

Downside is that it's syndicated on some chick show.

[TheMojoPin]

It is.

Largely because of that lazy-eyed douche.

I hope Jason Segal's movie career keeps taking off so he can bail.

And Britney Spears!

It's uncanny.

[hammersavage]

Like I said, its hard to argue humor. Especially with someone who saw half an episode and is painfully hip.


And intelligent and handsome.


I hated the mere idea of the show before I actually sat down and saw it. Then went back and watched the whole series. Last week it referenced 'The Wire' and this week 'The Big Lebowski'. It's writing is very smart and they use call back and references that typical sitcoms would never have the intelligence to use.

They have bad moments like the Britney thing but they had to try to get ratings up. I tried to watch Bing Bang Theory and it was terrible. Tried to watch 2 and a half men and thought it was one of the worst things ever on TV. But this show was an exception. 2nd best sitcom on TV right now.

I thought I'd never watch a 3 camera show again and I hate all of them except for this.

[TheMojoPin]

I've seen at least a dozen episodes. I keep hearing how good it is so I keep trying to get into it and it keeps failing. Maybe I've lucked into seeig the dozen shitty episodes.

I just don't see what's so different about it. To me it's interchangable with the parade of Friends clones that came out over the years. Jonathan Silverman is sitting at home pissed that the Single Guy is all but forgotten while the exact same show is now prased as being one of the better sitcoms out there. On top of that, besides Segal and Doogie Howser, I can't stand the rest of the cast. I am not just busting out the hyperbole when I say that they're some of stiffest, most awkward sitcom actors I've ever seen with absolutely APPALLING timing, especially the main dude and the stroked-out retard from Buffy.

Cool pop culture references do not a quality show make. I've seen enough partial episodes of shit like Reba and Two and a Half Men thanks to them being the "scheduled programs already in progress" after a Cubs game on WGN to realize that even the worst sitcoms will drop "hip" pop culture references.

[hammersavage]

We see it differently. I heard (and said) the same exact things before I saw it. Then I watched it. I had friends who said the same thing, I've turned many around. The timing thing makes no sense. The acting is debatable I guess.

Enough derailing, back to Jimmy Fallon. Now we all can agree that guy sucks ass.

[hammersavage]

I've seen enough partial episodes of shit like Reba and Two and a Half Men thanks to them being the "scheduled programs already in progress" after a Cubs game on WGN to realize that even the worst sitcoms will drop "hip" pop culture references.

Wait, this explains everything. They could show the greatest show of all time but you are busy wiping the tears from your beard after another Cub loss to enjoy it.

I understand now buddy. :wink:

[TheMojoPin]

Wait, this explains everything. They could show the greatest show of all time but you are busy wiping the tears from your beard after another Cub loss to enjoy it.

I understand now buddy. :wink:

So you consider those two shows to be contenders for the greatest shows of all time?

NOW it all makes sense.

[hammersavage]

You are dense.

[TheMojoPin]

Hey, you're the one that loves Reba.

You've obviously never seen it. She is an absolute, sassy delight trying to make it in this world, hunny! :wink:

[TheMojoPin]

Her homegrown antics never cease to amuse, y'all!

[grlNIN]

Maybe you guys just need to call it even stevens and make out.

[TheMojoPin]

Maybe you need to go back to kissing yer mama.

[hammersavage]

I will not call it even stevens but as for the rest of that.......:wub:

[grlNIN]

Maybe you need to go back to kissing yer mama.

Sorry, i stopped fulfilling your daytime fantasies 2 1/2 years ago.

[TheMojoPin]

You say that like my fantasies during the day are different than my fantasies at night.

I'm not some kind of pervy vampire, you weirdo.

[grlNIN]

They're not called nightime fantasies, they're called dreams.

Damn sometimes you're a dummy.

[TheMojoPin]

I don't dream.

Not anymore.

My dreams have been stolen from me.

And crushed.

[grlNIN]

If you would have made that a limerick it would have been better.

B- for style.

[hammersavage]

Sweet nighttime fantasies are made of these.

[TheMojoPin]

I don't want to know what those are.

[grlNIN]

Go To Work Ya Bum.

[TheMojoPin]

I am working, you goon.

[grlNIN]

I know where you work and you don't use a computer you fucking liar.

[hammersavage]

Nighttime fantasies lover come rescue me, take me up take me down, take me anywhere you want to baby now.

Is this the Jimmy Fallon thread?



Did anyone see it last Friday when Tracy Morgan was on? Jimmy was going to ask him why he bashed him in a Penthouse interview. So he did... but Tracy Morgan walked all over him and never answered his question. Then Jimmy apologized to Tracy and gave him a lion fish as a peace offering.... but for what? Tracy never admitted to anything and Jimmy just gushed love upon him.

It was really cringy.

Also delightfully cringe-worthy was watching Jimmy and the dude from Endgaget (or whatever) talking about the new Palm phone. The two whitest men alive were getting really excited about it... and eventually attempted to high-five each other. It did not go well.

Set the white man back about 50 years.

[sailor]

for people that never heard it. sailor told me he didn't think arrested development was funny.

i could have sworn i told nick and you were just listening in.

[Voreskin]

it seems to me as if Fallon is just reading jokes that someone else wrote for the first time when he does his monologue. He seems very uncomfortable. i dislike it:thumbdown:

[Brad in Bama]

Is anyone feeling the Jimmy Fallon Show? I'm into this show, and I respect what he's doing. I think he's trying to break the mold. What's your thoughts?

I'm loving the progress I've seen thus far. First night was obviously a train wreck, but it's been better than any reality tv watching a guy develop in a spot that you can only train yourself for by going out and doing it. I like fallon, i like his guests and interviews, and i love the roots. i think he's really gonna come into his own once the writing finds its stride.

I had all the shows Tivo'd and last night was the first night I got to catch up on these. Good stuff so far for a new guy.

[Ricky24]

do you oguys feel fallon is doing a good job still now that he is in week two?

[KnoxHarrington]

They've got to recognize that Fallon can't pull off a traditional talk show format that well, and come up with something that works for him. There's signs that they're doing that, but it still looks and sounds too much like a traditional talk show to me.

[GreatAmericanZero]

all talk shows need a while to find their voice i think

hes not doing a bad job considering but he still needs a lot of work in figuring out his show..which is fair

[Fallon]

I like the 7th Floor West bit they got going.

[TheWalkingDead]

never found the dude funny.

[EddieMoscone]

All I know is that Public Enemy is gonna perform with the Roots tonight.

oh wow, i just learned that AD Miles is the headwriter for Jimmy Fallon. Hes cool, he was the lead in the "keep the sabbath holy" section of "The Ten"..red headed dude, alternative comic and very close with "The State" people. He was actually at Bar9 the gig where all those alt comics showed up, brian posehn and such

Even if the show as a whole never stops sucking, it was worth existing just for this.

[hammersavage]

Jimmy Fallon vs Anna Kournikova in beer pong. Kinda lame and they don't really play but its worth it because she is still just ridiculous.

She throws like a girl.
Literally.
Every time she throws a pingpong ball, her back foot comes off the ground. Jimmy... both feet are planted.

Why on earth did I notice that? I have no idea.
