they didn't get rid of him. he's a major factor in two other shows and was never supposed to be on Late Night full-time.

I've seen enough to know it's not "the most consistently great thing out of all of the talk shows"...but we all know you overstate things from time to time.

These last two weeks have been much watch. I hope this means the shackles are off.

7/29/2016 11:47:17 AM

shoutout to Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Kimmel for being adults with broadcast late night talk shows

bigger shoutout to those who are new to watching "A Closer Look" on a regular basis

9/27/2016 11:59:39 PM

So who wasn't being an adult, and how?

But has Fallon ever been an adult? He'll be acting 14 for the rest of his life. And it won't be funny when he's Dave's age. Dave wasn't funny when he was Dave's age.

9/28/2016 9:40:35 AM

...and Fallon has never been funny. What's your point?

9/28/2016 10:40:33 AM

Letterman has never not been funny

9/28/2016 12:12:20 PM

Letterman is hilarious and extremely well respected amongst professional comics.

He definitely slipped as he got older...but he also didn't give a fuck...which made him more awesome.

I guess back to the topic...why are we complaining about Jimmy Fallon here?

[Edited on September 28, 2016 at 1:55 PM. Reason : .]

9/28/2016 1:48:01 PM

Because he wasn't being an adult.

Really? Just because he's not taking a stance? He's just being Fallon. He never says anything that would piss off a current or potential guest (aside from a tame opening monologue). He's a much funnier Jay Leno.

When did we need our late night hosts to be political pundits? Its nice to have variety. I don't think Fallon is perfect, but he does some funny shit with his guests. I like being able to watch clips the next day of Colbert, Oliver, and Fallon and get different laughs from each one.

9/29/2016 11:42:01 AM

He doesn't have to be a political pundit. But he doesn't have to have Donald Trump as a guest, either. If you're not going to call a politician (any politician) on their policies and/or behavior, don't have them on a talk show.

9/29/2016 3:28:21 PM

I don't remember all this outrage when SNL let him host the damn show

I suspect it's because our resident hipster community doesn't like Fallon to begin with, but does like SNL.

His has to answer to his employer, not us, and I'm sure those ratings were youge.

9/29/2016 3:47:45 PM

there was plenty of backlash when he hosted SNL

9/29/2016 4:12:13 PM

from you and vinyl?

[Edited on September 29, 2016 at 4:40 PM. Reason : i looked back but perhaps i missed it...]

9/29/2016 4:39:28 PM

who lotta world outside of this messageboard

and there's a big difference in having him host while a candidate in a primary vs. hosting as a candidate in the general

[Edited on September 29, 2016 at 5:01 PM. Reason : both are bad]

9/29/2016 4:59:44 PM

Let's not talk about Jimmy Fucking Fallon in this thread.

Sure, but I was obviously talking about "our resident hipster community"/"you and vinyl" but thanks for confirming my suspicion.

Damn, I missed the Metallica performance on Fallon just now. Anyone know of a place where I can download the Metallica performance for free?

Thanks

Yeah that was pretty badass.

I wish those assholes would play more US/accessible dates.

We're not all Bobby Axelrods

Colbert has the better show, but The Roots murder Colbert's band.

The more important point is, where has John Stewart been? There was a hint of some HBO thing, but no pop. We need his voice.

7/3/2018 1:07:34 AM

the Roots murder nearly every band that is currently in existence

7/3/2018 1:51:37 AM

Caught the monologue last night...the first I'd seen in a very long time. The entire thing was just a stance against Trump, and it wasn't funny at all. I get it, you don't like the POTUS. But you're sacrificing funny for politics. I agreed with everything he said, btw, which was mostly coverage of his support of Saudis and the Ivanka email thing, but make it funny at least.

Letterman was able to be political and maybe, sometimes, on the off-occasion, funny, and he didn't devote his entire monologue to politics. Same with Leno and Ferguson.

Maybe last night was just an exception to the norm, but for some reason I doubt it.

Bring back John Stewart.

11/21/2018 11:19:35 AM

you’d better make me laugh, funnyman

11/21/2018 12:38:31 PM

^^^ and yet last week he pulled in 700k more viewers a night than Fallon or Kimmel, and averaging 1.2m more a night over the course of the season.

If you think Colbert's monologue is too Trump-centric, you'd love Seth Myers.

11/22/2018 9:01:54 PM

monologues are also the weakest part of late night shows

11/22/2018 9:20:10 PM

coincidentally, so is Seth Meyers
