The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

This is absolutely the most pathetic version of the tonight show I've ever seen, fallon is not funny and brings no distinct impression the way the late johnny Carson and jay Leno, the set is atrocious, the lines are funny, the musicians are pathetic, joan rivers look as lost as usual and everything else is plain trash, I Remember when I Was the tonight show with johnny Carson back in the day, he has charm, style and heart that most talk shows don't have (even arsenio hall has that), but this guy is not funny, embarrassing, he is a globalist left wing garbage filth, just like the neocons, their all on the same boat, Junk, this is the worst tonight show of the last 60 years and it's a shame, because Carson and Leno truly made the show for what it is, laughter, time and honesty.

I Personally cannot wait for this fallon clown to be booted.

Jimmy Fallon has a modicum of talent and can pull off some funny bits but hosting the 60 minute TONIGHT SHOW 5 nights a week is obviously more than he can handle. He seems like an okay guy but he's an example of The Peter Principle in play.

Johnny Carson was the Gold Standard for hosting this show. He had charisma and depth. He could do political and social commentary, do comedy skits and handle all kinds of interviews from the serious to the silly. I still watch him on DVDs - stuff I've seen and enjoyed before.

Leno was good and usually worth staying up to watch. Politically, he leaned left but Obama was easy fodder for his jokes. Leno's interviewing skills didn't match Carson but he could handle man-on-the-street stuff and showed us how ignorant too many Americans are.

I've given Fallon about 10 tries but concluded he's not worth staying up for or even setting the DVR. The band is absolutely awful. Don't know what Fallon's ratings are or how long his contract runs but I will not be among his viewers.

Wow, poor Jimmy has so many haters on here. So he's not your traditional late night talk show host. He doesn't come out, tell a few jokes and then sit there with his guests and talk the whole time. He has fun. He plays games, does funny skits, sings, dances, acts like a goof-ball....He's basically a 41 year old kid. Why shouldn't he be able to have fun? It's his show. Those bits on the Tonight Show that some call "dumb" or "childish" go viral every single week. So apparently there are a lot of people who love the show, Jimmy and the crazy things he does. Is the show perfect? No, not at all. I love Jimmy Fallon and the Tonight Show but I will admit there are improvements to be made. Some of his jokes can be a bit cheesy, it's a bit repetitive, especially when he goes into certain segments like "Hashtags" and "Thank You Notes." It's been the same way every week since Late Night and I do wish he would do something different now and then. But when Jimmy is off script, when he's just talking to his guests, laughing uncontrollably with them, when he gets caught off guard by a story he was not expecting, when he interacts with his audience, when he's telling about his latest injury or talking about his daughters who he absolutely adores, that's the Jimmy we love. He's not perfect and has never claimed to be. He's just a regular guy. That is, in my opinion, what attracts so many people to The Tonight Show. I'm not saying everyone in the world should become a fan of the show and Jimmy Fallon. It would be nice but I know it'll never happen. Just give him a break. He's a good person and a great choice for host of The Tonight Show.

Fallon doesn't have the raw guttural humor of someone like Ferguson, nor should he expected to be. Fallon's semi-worship of guests has actually toned down a bit....it may drop as he ages, or not.....sometimes people just don't change.

He does not have writers that create some of the inspired bits of other shows....maybe it's not that easy to find people like that. This show is more like a very conventional show than something created with a niche audience. He'll find a way to survive.

As for people making political accusations here, you sound like very grumpy people who can't watch anything on TV without demanding that everything should be your way.

Let me start out with saying that I have been a long time watcher of all late night talk shows and consider my self an aficionado in the topic.

With that, I question all the complaints against Jimmy Fallon and how he is running the Tonight Show. He is taking the show in a new direction and for that I applause him. I've been watching every single tonight show this week to observe how the new set up is unfolding. Fallon brings an incredible, positive energy to the tonight show that I have not seen since Carson. He's constantly happy and lively, making the show as positive as ever.

Let me also in the past, I enjoyed Jay Leno and Conan O' Brien as hosts and they did a fantastic job with their humor and making celebrities comfortable. Fallon does the same in a peppy, great attitude towards all his guests, as well as showing how humbled he is to be hosting this legendary show. His monologues and sketches are relevant and very funny due to his amazing performance abilities and the way he executes them.

In conclusion, I'd just like to say Fallon is taking the Tonight Show in a new direction and I think it's a great one. It's 2014, we can't always compare all these hosts to Johnny Carson, that was 23 years ago. Fallon relates well with this new generation as well as still retaining the older audience with his polite, humble personality. I think great things will happen with the Tonight Show in the hands of Jimmy Fallon.
