    I think Conan was overrated, so I'm willing to see how Fallon does.

    you're crazy Conan was/is a breath of fresh air in late night TV... everything from Triumph to If They Mated to The Masterbating Bear... freakin classic, original comedy. It's always refreshing to see someone come along and push the envelope and take a risk, rather than just fill in the status quo and follow in everyone else's footsteps. (cough Jay Leno cough).

    I can still remember my freshman year of college watching Conan for the first time... my roomates and I all looking at each other wondering who this goofy guy was making lame jokes. For some reason we caught the show a few more times, and all of a sudden we 'got it'. By our Jr. year, it was ritual to watch Conan while enjoying a nice buzz. Completely original, completely fresh, and ****ing hilarious. Some of the hardest I've ever laughed at a TV show came during Conan's show.

    Now all that said, I rarely catch him anymore, I'm just not up that late much anymore. And if I am, my wife's asleep and I can't turn on the TV . But he'll always be a favorite



    Fallon has absolutely no charisma. I think he strikes most people as a smarmy **** who thinks he is a lot funnier than he actually is.

    Oh and "cracking up" while you're doing a live performance is funny once in a while, but dam, if you do it every time it's just immature and unprofessional.


    I can think of about 7 people off the top of my head that NBC would be better off with than Fallon. A few of them post on ES

    The soldiers gave three cheers as they urged their tired horses north across the uneven hills. Some of the mounts, exhausted after a week of almost continual marching, began to lag behind; others, spurred on by their enthusiastic riders, began to edge past the regiment's commander. "Boys, hold your horses," Custer cautioned; "there are plenty of them down there for us all."

    Jimmy Fallon has had about 24 minutes of his allotted 15 minutes of fame.
    Ugh. They may as well have given Chevy Chase another shot.

    Oh, and Conan is comedy genius. The Asian Apprentice was about the funniest bit I've seen on TV in the last 10 years, maybe more.

    Anyone remember Triumph ripping on Fabio? HILARIOUS. "Nice hair Fabio... it looks like an Afghan I humped last week"

    I seriously thought Fabio was going to get out of his chair and throw punches, it got uncomfortable for a while

    I missed that... I'm cracking up just imagining what it was though

    I was actually thinking that Jimmy Fallon and Carson Daily have a very similar sense of humor. They both have others write the jokes for them, they arent funny, and they laugh at their own jokes.

    Once Conan's show is over the tv will be turned off

    Nothing will ever top the triumph.

    and the masterbating bear was hysterical.

    Fallon is a piece of ****/sandler wannabee.

    Its a good thing that Craig Ferguson isn't terrible. Atleast there will be something decent to watch at that hour. It'll probably do good things for his show (Ferguson, that is), when the change is made.

    i've never actually watched him since i'm a die-hard conan fan, but i've heard good things about him. i'm betting ratings will jump up a ton once he's no longer competing with the conan.
