Late Night with... Jimmy Fallon?

[kdogg]

NBC wasn't expected to announce it until next month, but word has leaked to Fox News that Jimmy Fallon is set to take Conan O'Brien's job as host of "Late Night" in 2009 when O'Brien takes over "The Tonight Show" from Jay Leno, who is leaving as host in May, 2009.

Do not want.

[wooz]

Thats good news for me... staying up to watch Conan makes me tired as hell in the morning, now I can watch earlier and then go to sleep.

Jimmy Fallon = do not want.

[kdogg]

I'm getting to a point in my life where Conan's new time slot will be more convenient myself.

When I first heard that Conan was taking over Leno's show, I was rooting for Tina Fey. But then 30 Rock came along.
Out of all the possible replacements, why Jimmy Fallon? Jeebus.

I'd prefer nearly anyone else, with the possibly lone exception of Dane Cook.

What has Jimmy Fallon done since he left SNL? I mean, besides sh!tty movies. I guess that qualifies him to be a late night talk show host

[kdogg]

In that case, I wonder if Rob Schneider tried out for the job.

Or Pauly Shore. I'd actually take either of those guys ahead of Fallon

[kdogg]

I would too.

What about the obvious candidate: Andy Richter?

I know he's got nothing going on, since his awful detective show got canned after two episodes.

[purplefuzzystuff]

Woah! I agree! Do not want...

Then again Conan has very big shoes to fill both literally and figuratively and I don't know many people who could win me over like him.....But Fallon is a poor attempt

So yeah I guess I can call it in early everynight in 09

[kdogg]

Well, as much as we love Conan now, we have to admit he didn't exactly hit the ground running, either.

But we've seen Jimmy Fallon's best(?) already.

[purplefuzzystuff]

I hope not, cause really?

Mind you my career isn't all that great but still I'm not trying to entertain millions of people now am I?

[ziggyandthemonkeys]

Do not want. I'd take Pauly Shore any day of the week over Jimmy Fallon, i enjoy the weasel. Jimmy Fallon is probably one of my least favorite SNL cast members ever.

[purplefuzzystuff]

I concur... I think he is kinda irritating

[kdogg]

At least it's not until a year from now.
We've still got time to make NBC realize the error of their ways and reverse this decision.

Jimmy Fallon on SNL was an Adam Sandler ripoff. He did the little songs and characters much like Sandler did. The difference is that Adam Sandler was actually funny whereas Jimmy Fallon is annoying.

I'd rather have them bump Carson Daly up to the new time slot instead of Jimmy Fallon.

Not to mention the fact that Sandler could make it through a sketch without laughing 25 times.

Fallon's a tool, plain and simple.

I hate Fallon's stupid smile and the giggly bouncy way about him. I just wanna grab him and scream into his face, "STOP BOUNCING AROUND LIKE AN IDIOT 10 YEAR OLD CHILD!!!"

[augustwest]

Andy Richter would kick ass.

[hoosierrooster]

i say bring tom green back to the tv airwaves or give zach galifianakis a chance. both better choices than fallon

Hell yes for Zach Galifiankis.

[inertiaticc]

I too do not want.

[sammy o]

i don't have any problem w/ jimmy fallon...he's a younger comedian and imo will grow on most peeps...hes not my first choice, but there is no use in bitchin' now. i'd say in this setting, forget about the old fallon and give the man a chance.


my first choice of course would be david cross.

[ajalfon]

yea, david cross would be nice, or even will arnet....

but fallon....wow that sucks

[kdogg]

Bob Odenkirk was actually high on my list of desired replacements.

[lordrockinhood]

Hey now... nobody thought Michael Keaton could play Batman...

...okay, sorry, that was ridiculous

[kdogg]

Michael Keaton outside of Batman is alright.
Jimmy Fallon outside of Late Night is not.
