    Is Jimmy Fallon Failing Miserably?

    Any time I've accidentally come across his new late show, it's awful.
    His awkwardness doesn't work as a host.
    Whole thing looks like a really long, really unfunny SNL sketch.

      Didn't even know he had a show. About the only thing I watch these days is DVR'd stuff and sports.

          I was willing to give him a chance, but he looks like deer in the headlights, and the guests look uncomfortable.

                  Who is Jimmy Fallon?
                  .

                      Speaking of, who in LA can hook me up with tickets to Conan's opening show?

                          "Premiering on September 13 of that same year, Late Night with Conan O'Brien received generally unfavorable critical reviews for the first 2 to 3 years after its debut. O'Brien himself, a total unknown among the general public before being named host, was seen by many as not being worthy of the program. NBC even poked fun at this perception in a radio ad which aired shortly before the show's debut and had O'Brien relaying an anecdote where someone recognized him on the street and said, "Look, honey, there's the guy who doesn't deserve his own show!" Another source of criticism was the fact that O'Brien himself appeared to be very nervous and awkward during the show's early days. As a self-deprecating nod to this, the original opening sequence for Late Night With Conan O'Brien was animated and featured a caricature of O'Brien who sweated and pulled at his collar nervously."

                                      All these exact same things were said about Leno, O'Brien, and Kimmel when they all started.

                                      Not one of them hit their stride until year or two in.

                                                  Give him some time. All hosts are awkward at the beginning until they fall into their groove.

                                                          I actually really liked Conan O'Brian when he first started. Then later I couldn't stand it as the show got really lazy. Once Andy Richter left I stopped watching.

                                                          I don't think it's the same with Fallon. Conan may have been nervous at first but he didn't have a nervous personality. Fallon, even when relaxed comes off as nervous so it's not like he will settle in.

                                                          I hope he does well, but I don't think people will tune in for long as the whole thing feels really awkward.

                                                              I can totally see how much of a trainwreck he makes the show look, but I can also see him actually becoming the next Conan (funniest person on TV if you ask me). Isn't Conan taking over the Tonight Show soon? When is that? WHEERESSS COOONNANNNNNN ((

I think if they give him time he will develop into a good host. The good thing about being on that late is that there are not many expectations and they are usually pretty patient with letting you grow.

He wrote for SNL for many years and was a writer for The Simpsons during, in my opinion, the best years of the show. I have never thought Fallon was funny and dont think he will last long.

                                                                                                                          Now watching any of Jimmy Fallon's opening monologues makes me cringe. I haven't seen writing that bad since seasons 1 and 2 of the Simpsons.

                                                                                                                          Also, that episode of the Family Guy where they hammer him for always looking at the camera in skits, (who does he think he is, Carol Burnett) was right.

                                                                                                                          Jimmy Falon is a douche and is a perfect example of fame by luck, not talent.

                                                                                                                          In my opinion, someone like John C. McGinley should be given a talk show desk...

But the quote above says it all... JF was never really that good, the only thing I liked with him was "Cowbell" and he still tried to laugh and screw that up..

Ferguson = new Conan IMO - pretty funny actually and I sure wasn't expecting him to be.

I saw him host the MTV awards years ago and he was VERY funny. He was the best part of the show.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Fallon's new show though seems boring... I have no interest at all in watching it. The few shows I have seen though are just dull.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Conan and Leno are great, but I prefer Conan. Very very funny all the time. The best bit ever is CONAN GOES TO INDUSTRIAL LIGHT AND MAGIC. Just killer funny.

                                                                                                                                                                                          Not one of them hit their stride until year or two in.

                                                                                                                                                                                          I thought Kimmel did well in his early days.

                                                                                                                                                                                          I just don't like Jimmy Fallon, never really did. I always considered him kind of irritating and not very funny.

                                                                                                                                                                                          It's gonna take a whole lot to change that perception for me, and honestly, I probably amnot going to ever give him the chance.

Let's give him some time. He'll never be Conan though....

I don't get why Hollywood always uses the same people to play parts when others would do it better.
