So about a year in...can we agree that Jimmy Fallon is the best at late night?

[Amphibious]

Appears that the same people who can't make arguments resort to just 1 starring shyt like little kids.

I expect that from @HookersandIceCream, but I don't even know who @Amphibious is

Crying cause of someone rating your thread with THEIR own opinion like a bytch boy, don't make me laugh. You want me to take your feelings into consideration next time and act like I like your shytty threads?

Nah, I actually think that the mistake Conan made was to try to appeal to the older crowd to much.

Fallon makes it a point to appeal to the younger 18-40 crowd, but throwing curveballs to keep the older heads tuning in as well. This is masterful what he is doing, he is the next late night GAWD and not even a year in. Conan will always have an audience, but its clear he won't be able to grab the younger crowd like Fallon or even Kimmel can tbh.

I think he has a young crowd. It's the older the audiene that finds him too quirky. When Conan moved to the Tonight show he stopped all that masterbating bear cartoonish shyt he used to do and it didn't work

His masterbating bear and all that other shyt was corny tho and the older crowd definitely won't accept that on a show like the tonight show

Fallon has the perfect formula going, maintaining the tradition and growing old with the generation that can relate to him. That's how I always viewed these tonight shows. Conan just doesn't fit that mold IMO, he stuck with his formula for the most part...either you like it or you don't.

Fallon will adapt and adjust if needed because his skits/routines are so that they are swappable over time.

He had a Saved by the Bell reunion now, but if he is still around doing this in 10-15 years...he can possibly fit the role of an older person in "Big Bang Theory" and do a reunion that way.

I don't say this often but Fallon tries way too hard to be hip, cool and fresh and its gonna feel forced in 1-2 years if he keeps it up.

People actually watch late night talk shows?

They're literally all just fighting to go viral, that's all these shows exist for now, is to go viral in the morning. So it's a bit of a waste of time actually watching them. Anything noteworthy will be shown on every media site the next day.

 

[NobodyReally]

I think when he's funny, he's really funny. But it's not consistent enough for me, and I honestly think he fawns over his guests too much. It makes me cringe sometimes.

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

I'm a Conan stan, but yea, the show is great.

BTW, this dude had such a come up. On SNL, he was known as the dude that always ruined skits by laughing. Then he tried to have an Adam Sandler type movie career and failed. Then he layed low and landed Late Night, and now look at him

fever pitch is a personal classic

fever pitch is a personal classic

Their is only one decent Fever Pitch and it's stars Colin Firth, not Jimmy Fallon
:paddle:

If anything late night talk shows have never been stronger. They got the 40+ people watching "live" and younger people check for the funniest bits online the next day.

Too bad Seth Meyers don't get love like Fallon.

I think Seth Myers is terrible

 

[Milk N Cookies]

I think Seth Myers is terrible

I'm sure half, who am I kidding? Most of Hollywood & music industry would agree that he is a far cry of void left by Conan.

 

[The Jewnited States]

Who the hell is watching late night tv like that? shyt is almost always boring and corny and the best bits go viral anyway

 

[Milk N Cookies]

I knew Jimmy would go far when he did this

The parodies, the singing, the lyrics.... Hey he has a young Zoe Dashenell as his girlfriend. (Jess from New Girl)

 

[KevCo]

I hate hate hate Jimmy Fallon in movies, most tv shows....but his run so far has been pretty damn good....he really got me with that Saved By The Bell skit....
