Awful. The monologue wasn’t amusing except for the Microsoft joke.
Lick it for 10???? Awful. Slow jamming the news? Excruciatingly awful.
De Niro was funnier and he only said about 4 words. The Set? Awful. The
band? Not bad although they didn’t look entirely comfortable. But it’s
not a band show, it’s a talk show. This might be a funny show after a
bit of time under it’s belt (and a comedy injection into the host who
appears to have undergone a sense of humour bypass sometime in his
youth) but will anyone still be watching it? I might check it every once
in a while but on first nights effort I don’t hold out much hope for an
improvement. Although in his defense he was just as funny in this as he
is on SNL. Which was awful. It could have been worse though, they might
have gotten Adam Sandler to host it instead. Just as well they didn’t
because I can’t think of a worse word than awful (not one that can be
used in a public forum anyway).
i personally don’t like Fallon’s jokes, 70% of them just blow, they are nothing like Conan’s, I’ve expected better jokes from him given it was his first show, the whole involving the audience in the show is pretty stupid, like why would i wanna stay up to watch a bunch of people licking random house items for 10 bucks???? this is just so lame, and yes Fallon made this for his first show, this is even 10X lamer than Howe Do it, Fallon is also pretty nervous during the show, and his squeaky voice doesn’t help his cause, hes interviewing skills are very bad, even during the show he admitted that he put the audience to sleep by talking about trees, i think NBC made a big mistake putting Fallon on id rather be watching Carson daily.
OH MY GOD!!!! Jimmy Fallon as host of “Late Night” was just so horribly painful to watch. I remember watching Conan O’Brien’s debut and at least he was funny and used the being in the shadow of David Letterman to his advantage. Fallon basically tried using his high profile guests to carry him through. And no, I am not bashing Fallon because I was a super duper O’Brien fan. I have never really liked Fallon or thought that he was funny. He seems to have this goofball vibe about him, which he tries to use to slide through his performances. I didn’t think that he was funny on “Saturday Night Live.” Robert DeNiro looked as if he was in pain. The only time that Fallon was truly funny was when he and Justin Timberlake reenacted their famous Barry Gibb talk show skit, with Timberlake carrying Fallon.
I guess Fallon’s movie career wasn’t rocking and rolling like other SNL alums, so maybe that is why he took the “Late Night” gig. We will probably see as many big name stars or SNL alums during the first month of his debut, but if he doesn’t actually get funny, NBC should definitely think about another host. Is Justin Timberlake available?
