Show was pretty lame, but I'll continue to give it a chance. The 'Lick something for $10' skit was just retarded and unfunny. Monologue was alright. Interviews were pretty bad :x - But, like I said I'll give it a chance.

Err...Conan was always immature, that was his thing basically. I think Fallon is probably as mature as he's going to get. Plus he's married to a woman like 10 years older than he is...I think.
theres more then 1 on these forums that cant stand him, I am one of them, Conan is about as funny as a dead baby, Fallon is even less funny

I really liked Conan and his show, been watching it for years and years. I loved the Walker Texas Ranger bashing and the whole random pull-the-lever for a short retarded hilarious clip bit. I dig his comedy and his style. It'll def be interesting to see how things go when he takes over for Leno.
With regard to Fallon, the only funny bit he did on SNL was Weekend Update and most of that was carried by Tina Fey. Amy didn't have the same chemistry with Jimmy that Tina did; they appear to work well together. However, Fallon on his own isn't funny and further buries himself by being significantly annoying with his stupid giggling, studdering, and blank stares into the cam.
Last night's episode was downright painful to watch. I really dig the band and thought the slow news had potential, but fell short. The skit with DeNiro was funny but only because DeNiro bitchslapped Fallon. It looked as if DeNiro was very uncomfortable being the first guest and his explaination of his film festival was awful. Fallon kept interrupting DeNiro with more questions, seemed like he was sabotaging his own interview. Timberlake had some good bits and livened up the show a bit, but still wasn't enough to save the show. The whole "commemorative signed photograph" thing just made things even more awkward.
Van Morrison's performance, while musically entertaining, was annoying with his mumbling which just added to the whole trainwreck feeling of the first episode. He even had a "false start" at the beginning of the song which would make any musician facepalm. It's like the set was cursed with the retard bug or something. The performance felt last-minute, unrehearsed, not together. Blah.
There was this underlying feeling through the whole show like Fallon was this giddy little kid running around with a grin on his face going "I gots my own show everybody! I gots my own show everybody! yaaaaaayyyyy!" aspect that made it difficult not to change the channel. I did want to see the whole show, to be fair. The cheese, however, continued right up until the last scene where he runs up the steps and gives his dad a hug and the video cam followed him as if it's some sort of uncomfortable congratulatory wedding video that a drunken best man takes after most of the guests have already left. What's with the little flaps on the back wall he flipped up to reveal bright yellow "MOM" / "DAD" signs? Ugh. I REALLY hope they get this shit right and he stops acting like a childish douche. The brit isn't a funny alternative.

I loved him at the very beginning, but I do remember some awkward moments here and there while he was still finding his groove.
I wish I could have seen Fallon last night. I'm not a fan of his in general, but I think you can generally tell if there is something there waiting to come out.
What do I know though, I'm a big Craig Ferguson fan and probably the only one around here.

Its still hilarious compared to Letterman / Smitty (i really can't stand him)
but I guess that isn't saying much
Conan is worlds apart from both of them though

I'll have to check him out tonight if I remember, Colbert Report is on at that time though so I'll miss half of it.
I too remember Conan absolutely sucking when he started, but when he finally got good he became great. What really makes a good Host at that time slot is not so much the Hosts personality, it's all about the Skits and various Characters. That's what made Letterman and Conan great.

I disagree. What makes a great host is their ability to converse with guests, audience members, and people on the street and come up with stuff on the spot. Letterman is the king of interviewing, and Conan isn't half bad, either.
Just my opinion.
YES - I absolutely hated the product placements they did yesterday, especially with van morrison's CD:
"Get Van Morrison album at walmart and amazon.com"...no sh!t Jimmy...did you think I would try to find it at Safeway!?!?
Those product placements are a serious turn-off to the show.

After reading through this thread today, I thought the show would be a trainwreck. Just watched it on the DVR, and it really wasn't that bad. Sure, it had it's growing pains, but that's to be expected. You can tell he's never done this before, so I think any weirdness is justified.
I really feel sorry for you guys who are so instantly judgmental. Must suck to live in your bubble.

Ya, I didn't think it was too terrible. I'm with preitusONE on this one. Although I must say, Justin Timberlake made the show. Falon should get more younger stars to come on. He seemed very comfortable with Justin Timberlake. Heck.. I think Justin Timberlake would've made a great host hahaha.

I thought it was bad. Robert DeNiro interview was downright horrible. Jimmy Fallon talks way too fast and I'm sure some people would have a hard time understanding him. His interviewing skills suck. He's ganna need a couple years of polishing to be good.
He switched to a 3 min monologue. And it was still bad. He sounds like he is hyperventilating when he talks.
