late night abc/nbc/cbs/ talk shows

[Dr Rick Daris]

Remember all those sketches Fallon ruined on SNL by laughing well before the punchline was delivered?  That was awesome and now that he has his own show he has potential to ruin every single moment of it by laughing.  Great stuff.

He made the skit better, by doing that, dummy. Some of the best highlights of SNL from that era was Fallon cheesing it up in the background. You people!

yeah it's funny once and then it gets old and then you slowly realize that he's doing it on purpose to get people to laugh so that the skit doesn't tank. he's basically priming them. very similar to if somone around you yawns, then you will yawn. it's a crutch and it got old seven years ago.

[Dr Rick Daris]

I watched some Fallon last night. It was ok.

yeah man. my favorite part was when whoopie goldberg sold socks for five minutes like it was qvc or something and jimmy just giggled and feigned embarassment and surprise. #viral

I didn't watch the interview

looks like we got another i don't watch fallon but i think it's good person on our hands.

I find him easy to like and I think he's adorable.  I watched his first show ever and he was super nervous and awkward and I just feel like he's came a long ways. Maybe that's my thing, I'm comparing him now, to his first show. I felt really bad for him. He was sweating, stuttering, and blanking out.

a couple of nights ago he was doing some bit on hometown lulz or someshit like that(basically what leno did with the newspaper) and there was gyno with the name richard hard. it was basically two minutes of dumb dick jokes and girlish laughter between him and his stage buddy (his writer) talk about woof!

yeah. poor little embarrassed jimmy fallon who couldn't think of what to say and got nervous and was awkward. i bet he even giggled a few times and bit his lip once or twice. so endearing. so cute. i mean completely disregard that he's basically playing a character and had been in front of live audiences for ten straight years before his show started.

This is a trap thread. Rick made this thread just so he could bash on Fallon. 

[chum1]

I just did an eyeball comparison of the search results for "Jimmy Fallon sucks", "Jimmy Kimmel sucks", and "Conan O'Brien sucks". WAY, WAY, WAY more web content hate for Jimmy Fallon out there than for the others. Just as this thread reflects. It's not close.

Jimmy Fallon hate is a very real thing.

late night talk shows are like pizza to me though where even a kind of bad one is still something i like. fallon = frozen tonys pepperoni.

[420seriouscat69]

Yum. I love frozen tonys. 

[Dr Rick Daris]

you know what show was actually pretty good the few times i watched it? the one with the british guy or whatever from the drew carey show. he was pretty quick/funny/interesting. now he's gone though.

looks like you're too busy arresting minors for smoking cigs to read the thread. I said earlier I don't think he's all that funny

[Dr Rick Daris]

[Rage Against the McKee]

Rick, you should probably just stop watching Fallon. I think he's giving you nose bleeds.

early years dave when conan was writing for him is hard to beat but carson will always be the all time numero uno

[kso_FAN]

Just watched a bunch of Fallon videos and enjoyed them very much. I think I'll watch some more.

[Dr Rick Daris]

coolest might have been the wrong choice of words. maybe should have went with biggest badass.

Bushkin notes that Carson smoked four packs of cigarettes a day for most of his life, that he drank to excess nearly every night, that he kept a .38 in his glove box. At every location, Carson relied on an architecture of bellhops, hotel managers and personal secretaries to facilitate a steady supply of alcohol and hook-ups with women of diminishing age-appropriateness.

so he was a chain smoking alcoholic perv

But those were the qualities people liked back in his day.
