The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon
http://www.kansascity.com/2013/04/03...l?storylink=fb
NEW YORK — NBC on Wednesday announced its long-rumored switch in late night, replacing incumbent Jay Leno at "The Tonight Show" with Jimmy Fallon and moving the iconic franchise back to New York. . I think this is great never curred for Leno. David Letterman will always be my favorite but I think Jimmy Fallon is pretty good late night host. Big upgrade over Leno imo. Am surprised if this is not Q lol. |

I don't get all the Fallon hate. I don't watch his show regularly, but the bits I see are really good (History of Rap and other musical bits).

NOW they keep the show in NYC. That's what could have saved Conan, I think.

Jimmy Fallon always seems like he is reading a tele-prompter ... badly.

Arsino Hall returns in Syndication this Fall. Seth Myers is rumored to take Fallons spot, when he makes the switch to "Tonight." And Letterman contract is up 2015, Jon Stewart is being talked about as his replacement, he is in the Viacom stable already. Interesting "change" in the Late Night landscape ahead.

I actually watched bits of Fallon, Leno and Ferguson last night. It just amazes me that anybody likes any of them other than Ferguson.

At least Jimmy Fallon has some talent. Only late night host that can sing and play guitar. His musical spoofs are hilarious.
That being said, I like Conan better. The one that doesn't get mentioned is Craig Ferguson. What they do on a low budget is outstanding. And his gay skeleton sidekick is better than anyone on late night. Letterman used to be my favorite until he turned into a grumpy old man. Leno always had the best monologues but he's a dick for ruining Conan's life.

Leno has always been a schmuck. Letterman was great, but he's gotten stuck in his old man schtick. I think Fallon's show is the best of the bunch.

I hated Fallon on SNL, but I actually think he's an excellent late night host. Never thought I'd like him that much.

I read it just got renewed for five years.
I'm kind of addicted to tracking late night talk show ratings, and I've never known why. Just tracked it since Letterman/Leno and never stopped. Fallon takes over for Leno, changes the format of the Tonight Show to whatever it is he's doing now, and he ends up obliterating Letterman. Colbert takes over and Colbert -- at least in terms of traditional ratings -- has been absolutely smacking down Jimmy Fallon for years. And Fallon's traditional ratings are now so low, he regularly loses to Kimmel, and now Greg freaking Gutfeld on Fox freaking News is seeing higher ratings than The Tonight Show -- it's nutso. But I can't figure out if this show is popular or not. In terms of traditional ratings, this is probably the nadir of the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, but he still has the most YouTube subscriptions (I think he more than triples Colbert there), and the show has the biggest following of all the late night talkshows on all the key social media networks. I don't know how much that's worth, to be honest. Does it compensate for the traditional ratings? Does it more than compensate? Whatever it's doing, it's working for NBC, because he just got extended five years. I seriously thought he was on the verge of getting canned due to the shellacking he's taken over the past half decade. Last edited by Direckshun; 05-21-2021 at 03:40 AM.. |
