My problem with him as a comedian is that he relies almost completely on other people's talent and creations. He basically just mimics others, which he's somewhat talented at but he doesn't add much of a joke to anything. Half of his "brilliant" bits are just him literally recreating something, and we're all supposed to go "hahaha I totally REMEMBER THAT NOSTALGIC THING and wow Fallon has a good voice!" But it often completely lacks a joke, or a twist, or anything. He almost seems like he is just a geeking out fan moreso than a real comedian. Half of his thing is literally impersonating other comedians. A comedy routine can't just be "accurate recreation + Fallon = laughs". There's gotta be something else added. Chris Hardwick fits that description as well.
Anyway, thought Colbert was decent and I'm totally ok with him bringing a lot of Colbert Report influence to his new show since that was great and better than any late night TV for the past 15 years.

Jimmy Fallon = Buzzfeed TV. The people on social media who LAWL over Jimmy Fallon clips also post shitty Buzzfeed crap.
Taste and preference isn't supposed to be about intelligence, but in this case, it totally is.
