Jimmy Fallon rules
 

So glad Lennos gone. Fallon rules.

sorry to be disagreeable, but, i would rather see johnny carson re-runs.
by the way, GET OFF MY LAWN!!

Respectfully,
I think your wrong.
Carson was ok I guess.
I'd like to know ages with preference.
There is that generation gap thing I think.
I feel Fallon is genius but his humor would leave many older generations wondering wth he's talking about.
Lenno was a bridge but he was just lame really, I liked letterman much more.

I'm so happy we have Fallon.
I'm 44 years old.

I'm 42. I think they all suck. I just hate the format and the guests perhaps more than the personalities. Certainly Fallon is closer in relevance to me than the others but .... Blah...

I have not watched late night TV since Carson retired. I have seen Leno on YouTube but I go to bed at 10:30 now.

I like Jimmy Fail-on as a person, but don't care for his show and the writing at all.

His ratings say otherwise. And he's not a car guy.

i still check to see who is going to be on the late night shows, if there is a guest i want to see i will watch any of the shows.
i do enjoy jimmy kimmel and craig ferguson.

45, never liked Letterman much. Couldn't stand to watch Conan O'brian. Fallon had a few things that made me laugh, but not enough to make it worth the effort to watch a show with him on. Johnny Carson and Leno are entertaining enough to watch.

Don't often watch Ferguson but love the accent. It was a hoot when he had Ewan McGregor on.

Fallon has far more talent than any of his predecessors, and can adlib like Carson. Leno seemed decent, respectful but a little stale.

Regarding late shows, that Seth Meyers isn't going to last.

In his first couple of weeks it is apparent he is a political suck up. Nobody really gives a shift if he is buds with those knuckleheads. He can't or won't make fun of the potus or his lard ass wife who promotes healthy eating? Really look in the mirror.

He does credible imitations and guests seem to like him. But, if you're going to bring in politics every show make fun of the current clown show in the White house.

Fallon's initial rarings are meaningless. He's new, people are tuning in to see the new guy and he's had some help from the lead-in programming. Let's see how he's doing in 5 year's time.

I personally don't care for the guy. He can be funny but I don't think he has the gravitas for the role. Conan didn't either; a funny guy (in small doses) but completely wrong for the job.

Leno did a good job for NBC and he'd still be around if the clueless suits in the head office wern't idiots.

Back when VCRs first came out one thing that made me want one was the thought that I could record Letterman and watch it later. I did that for a week and did not laugh once. Stupid Pet Tricks is sometimes cool. I tried Letterman an and off for a while and he is just not funny. Stupid, but not funny.

Carson was a master of wit. He had un-scripted moments with something funny on most shows.

I gave up on late night TV long ago. I almost never watch the big four networks.

+1

I'm 87, and I think they all suck. Sullivan was a true master of the genre. Everything else after is pure crap.

I'm 112, and Ernie Kovacs schooled them all.

No you're not.

Fallon can do impressions well. I wish he would pick one and replace his own spastic boy routine.

Leno -during the writers strike- killed it (excellent on his own). That is raw talent right there.

Kimmel takes Fallons lunch money nightly.

I'm an 11 year old girl and I think Justin Beiber should get a late night show. He's dreamy.

I am 67 yo. Larry King had many wives - in serial fashion I believe he had 6. Jay Leno had many cars. I can relate to Jay Leno better when his cars starred.

Johnny Carson was genuinely funny.
Ed Sullivan not so much funny but he had great performers such as rock groups etc.

Right now it is a toss up. They are all pretty much the same. :) G.

I watched Leno's monolog and sometimes made it thru the guest. Tried Fallon, but just not that funny to me. Switched over to Jimmy Kimmel and find it more on topic for the times. Oh and I'm 54 years old.

Leno has MANY MANY cars and the same wife he started with.

I like Letterman a lot. It took several shows in the 70's to appreciate his sarcasm but I was hooked. Always my favorite.

They all make me laugh. I don't go out of my way to watch the shows anymore. Fallon is really sharp.

Jack Paar was the "A" team...

Everyone else is the "B" team...

I'm a seventeen year old girl and I'm not wearing any panties

There are people that think Adam Sandler is funny so I guess someone might think Letterman as funny. His show has been on a long time.

Do you like Pauly Shore? The least funny "comedian" of all time?

Anyone remember the Alan Thick show back in the 80's?

I like Benny Hill. But could he have carried a talk show?

61 I enjoy a good laugh.....nun of these guys hit the mark all the time.
However, I have enjoyed all of their shows at one time or another.

It would be absolutely un-possible for my opinion on this topic to differ from yours any more than it already does.

Benny Hill was very funny.

Jimmy Fallon is killing it.

From the Brian Williams "Rapper's Delight" edit to the History of Rap with Justin Timberlake to the Idina Menzel / The Roots rendition of "Let It Go."

He is more than just having jokes and interviewing guests. He is innovative without being odd (which Conan crosses more often than not).


Leno sucked, Letterman sucked, and so do all the old dudes you guys mentioned.

I'm 31, but since I do work in the industry, I have seen all of them. The only ones I liked were Conan & Fallon.

Jaywalking is pretty funny, though.

It's a talk show. We already have SNL, don't need so many skits. I predict the younger crowd will watch him until the next big thing comes around and the older crowd will tune him out altogether.

If you look at his guests thus far, most are people I couldn't care less about. Lady Gaga, Michele Obama...

I think they are going after a younger demographic. I wish them luck, lots of those folks don't even watch much TV.

JR

The younger crowd may not watch a lot of live tv, but they share the video of his Lip Sync Contest with everybody they know.

Fallon is like an excited little kid, just giggling and having fun. It's like contagious laughter.

So what if we already have SNL. How many talk shows are there?

Besides, the whole talk show formula is so boring. Why not make it entertaining for those that do watch?

Jimmy looks like he just needs a good cry all the time. Maybe that's his appeal to younger people?

Good memories. Late 60's. My Mom's folks lived right up the street. 300 yards. Used to sleep over at their place. Grandma would crash upstairs and Grandpa would come home with a buzz on from his refinery job, post beers at the pub.

On the UHF channels they had Benny Hill re-runs. He got a kick out of them and let me watch with him. For a 13 year old, it was awesome. He let me suck down the biggest bowl of ice cream I could dish out. Life was good.

He would then lay on the floor, fall asleep and snore. I was on the couch four feet away with the pillow wrapped around my head. :)

Agreed, and it's not new, he's always been that way. For years he's been the same funny witty able comedic dude.

I like lenno's car collection and his internet car related shows but he's not funny to me.
Letterman is sarcastically funny. He makes me giggle. Jimmy kimmel is ok but I haven't really given him a chance.

I'm still 44. I might be 45. I'm not sure.
I had given up on the late night shows, and I font go to sleep early either. But now I'm watching again.
Funny stuff.

Fallon sucks. Bring back Jack Paar as a zombie.

Fallon was in the news today. It seems that he thinks his show is so hot he can make demands on his guests. The report said if you do his show you can't be on any other show as a guest or you won't be invited back. Shades of Carson back in the 60's
