Fallon is a better late night host than Conan will ever be.

Holy crap that saved by the bell sketch was awful. 5:00 of cameos and no laffs.

Lynch and Gronk playing Mortal Kombat on the other hand... pure joy.

Also Fallon with that hair is a ringer for a younger Mike Myers.

That skit only needed to be the cameos...well the cameos and laughing at Jimmy for not dating Nicole Kidmann.
 
I've been watching a ton of Fallon clips on youtube. I rarely laugh at TV but I constantly laugh with him.

My wife and I thought it was hilarious. Especially the part about Nicole Kidman.

Fallon's show gives me a mini-SNL vibe.. their skits are hilarious! The band is good. However, Fallon is a terrible interviewer. I watch it for the skits!

Conan's a better interviewer, imo.

Ferguson is hilarious.. very natural.. his jokes are hilarious!

Agree, and one thing that really bothers me with fallon is trys to hard to be nice.
 
I'm amazed at how much makeup and hair styling can make some of them look like they were in the 80's when they were in their teens. Well, a couple of them.
 
The one thing that really grates on me with Fallon is everything is "the best" "the greatest" "best thing ever" etc.

He gushes over everything and everyone.
 
Is Jimmy Fallon fucking dead yet?

If him and Tina Fey could be on the same plane when it crashes into a mountain, that would be the best day in the history of the world.

That might be taking it a bit too far, but yeah they're both overrated. Neither are funny.

Most of Jimmy's stuff seems lazy to me. Also seems to pander too much to my generation's nostalgia instead of being truly funny. Conan had some truly hilarious stuff at the end of the '90s and early 2000s. I stopped watching. I checked out a few episodes after the TBS switch and it does appear that he has lost it. Jimmy being better than current Conan isn't saying much, but saying that Jimmy is better than Conan as a whole is saying too much.
 
Ehh, I dont watch much TV outside of Top gear and Daily Show with Jon Stewart. But I will say I have seen some extremely funny Fallon clips as well as extremely funny Conon clips. But they soon will be deep in the shadow of Colbert.
 
that saved by the bell clip is one of the greatest clips of all time. i just got around to watching it. not surprised some people on ATOT don't like it though. i thought it was perfect how they got so many of the classic references in there.

mr belding looks awful.

and damn, jesse looks like she hardly aged.
 
I've never been a fan of Fallon, but the last month or two have definitely been some of the best late night skits in a solid decade. The Nicole Kidman interview, the Fresh Prince opening, SBTB...
 
Conan is like a singer with very little range. He's OK at what he does, but it's all the same.

ANYONE is better than Jay Leno.

Letterman was great for about 5 or 10 years, but he should have retired 15 years ago.

Fallon is pretty good. We'll see how long it takes, though, for him to get old.

I thought Jesse looked pretty obviously aged. Lots of make-up on her face to try and hide it, but make-up couldn't fix her flabby old-lady arms, among other clues.

Mario Lopez was the ridiculous one. He always looked too old for his part (even moreso than all the others), but twenty years later, he looks exactly the freakin' same.

Anyway...that skit sure sucked ass, though. Uh, okay, 'classic references.' A couple of them were cute, but none of it was funny. That's pretty much par for the course for Fallon.
