NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

boring not funny boring not funny boring not funny boring!!

i literally bumped into colin q uinn once coming around a corner like three years ago (lucky?) and we were both drunk. we were all laughing like 'ey whatdafuk dude?!?' and i said to him in my drunkenness 'what the eff is the deal with jimmy fallon! he's not snl material, tell him to stop laughing at his own jokes!' and he shrugged his shoulders, laughed and said 'ey, he's a nice guy! be nice!'

so ok, he seems like a nice guy, but just not funny

Oh well.

Actually, the only thing I've ever witnessed of Dane Cook is his part in Mr. Brooks. I still can't decide
if that performance was awful or truly inspired, but I sure do know I did want him to die.

I've gathered that he's pretty awful.

There's a lot of hate for him at A.V. Club.

I like Jimmy Fallon!

I'm not sure what kind of talk show host he'd be though. he giggles a lot.

I'm just happy that it won't be Carson Daly. his show sucks soooo hard.

agreed.

and i like dane cook. he makes my tummy hurt in that kinda "i'm laughing entirely too hard" kinda way.

i just wish he'd stick to stand up and stop with the movies.

Funny enough, the only thing of Jimmy Fallon I've seen is his performance in Almost Famous, which was gold.

Aww come on guys, Jimmy aint too bad.


Better than that D bag, Jimmy Kimmel.

And hey, atleast they didn't bump Carson Daily up.

There's no way that Conan can get away with something like Masturbating Bear in that time slot. I hope this doesn't affect the way that he and his writers operate.

What's the point of switching shows like that? Conan is doing pretty well in his own right with his time slot - why can't Jay Leno just go away and take his show with him? I mean, who is dictating that someone has to take his place?

I think it's stupid.

I agree and I also disagree. I think maybe with shifting demographics and everything... it might be a possibility that the audience for the show is typically the group who now is going to bed just slightly earlier than they used to.

I mean, hey, I'm a fan of Conan and there's no way I can stay up too late on weeknights to catch his show. I've got a job and stuff to get to... which kind of sucks. I wish I was back in college.

I just want to see if Conan is going to stick with his same style or change for the new show. If he takes his writers with him then I'm sure it will be all good but otherwise I wouldn't trust it.

I've been watching Conan for years now hoping the CupCake Cowboy would make a return.

Jimmy Fallon's style is too girly for me. I guess it works though. :cool:

Ah. Fuck.

At least Conan will still be around. I hope he'll still be allowed to be funny at an earlier time slot.



Fuck fuck fuck fuck.

I stopped watching Leno years ago, but I thought I'd check out his last week. It was still the same boring safe stuff that made me stop. And he didn't thank Edd Hall and Branford Marsalis at the end. Bastard!

Now it's just a few days left until we see how Conan will act.

Oh man...

Jimmy's monologues was... just awful. Very little laughs. More like at most 20 people were kind of laughing but overall it was just crashing pretty hard.
