 will start watching...including me. He makes me laugh before saying a word!
she made herself known by her own doing.....you have nothing because you fed into everything that was done...
do you not understand what we did...
...
to make you work for 7 months and it worked....you need to stop trying too destroy a person you never destroyed....
Forget Fallon. Joan Rivers was the 1st pick before she Pi$$ed Carson off. Give it to her; she deservse it. If moving the Tonight Show back to NY is going to end up as lame and tired as Satruday Night Live. That show hasn't been funny in 25+ years
It is one thing to replace Leno if his ratings are down but his rating are great. What NBC is doing is telling his current audience that they are not important. Its a different demographic that they want and current Jay Leno watchers can go to hell. Well ok we will go to hell. Bye NBC. May your ratings suck even more. Karma will find a way
I think Leno wants to retire. He has made millions on this gig, so he can stay home and play with his cars. I also wonder if his failure in prime time might make him want to just walk away. I doubt the network really wants to get rid of him, but if he is going anyway, you might as well make adjustments.
she's going too goldman so there is no failure-what you overheard in the car was...
a. it was time for us too go
b. we have another offer
c. we have another offer to remain
you didn't tell him that part....we figured....
Like the move and think the move to NYC is great. Why Carson ever chose to relocate to drab Burbank is beyond me.
For those who say Fallon is bland, so was Carson – Nebraska bland – a nerdy magician. But he was brilliant. People get tired of edgy after a while. Look at the guest list for Fallon – for such a time slot. Justin Timberlake was on for an entire week. Who would do that for any other host? And Jimmy has musical talent. No other host can relate to musical guests like him. I think he will succeed.
Anybody at that time slot than that "tool" Letterman; all do respects to the device NOT the man.
Wow, Fallon must be a real aszh0le.
Jimmy Fallon is as funny as a heart attack. Stern is a sleaze ball and has no business being on the air. How about a new face somewhere out there???????? Why always pick the losers?
Yeah Fallon is not funny at all. He does good impressions though. But Leno is in a different class IMO.
It is Stern TIME! Come on.....please...Stern RULES!
PS Fallon is cool....Leno is holding us back! Dude is a D bag
Why do ANY of these talk show hosts make so much money just for talking????
I can't believe how many Fallon haters are on here. In my humble opinion, he's the only late night talk show worth watching any more. His bits are well-crafted, but do make a lot of 80s and 90s references. If you remember Carson on the air, you probably were too old to get on that 80s/90s pop culture bandwagon.
His charisma is unparalleled, he has a much greater optimism toward the world than everyone else's perennial favorite, Letterman. He will be the next late-night legend.
As far as someone accusing Fallon of infidelity, what are your sources?
On the bright side, when he gets kicked off after Leno has another Old Man breakdown and takes his show back, we get to go see JImmy do a live show ala Conan!
Fallon is just awful.
I hate THEM BOTH!!!
was it real or was it imagination....
Dont do it Jimmy, its a trick. Leno is a snake and you will only get screwed. Am i the only one who remembers the Conan fiasco?
"He’s the closest to Carson that I’ve seen of this generation." There is no Carson or closest to Carson. And that is not a knock against any late night host. It's a simple fact that TV production, expectations and performance is what it is now. The days of Johnny Carson are gone, and that's ok. No late night show will ever be that kind of event, and no one should have the pressure of trying to be "the closest to Carson that I’ve seen of this generation".
Jay Leno is the funniest man on tv, I will miss him when he leaves
Leno's delivery is tired and his political leanings are getting old. Time for some new talent.
I don't think Jimmy Fallon is funny at all. When his talk show first came out I watched him a few times and he seemed wooden and bland. I haven't watched him in a long while and when I realized his show was still on I figured maybe he had improved. By the comments I read on this forum it doesn't seem like he has improved.
Johnny Carson is spinning in his grave over the crap that followed him.. Jay Leno is funny to one man- himself. And Jimmy Fallon is a talentless dweeb. NBC- stands for Not Broadcasting Correctly – should not only cancel The Tonight Show- they should cancel their entire network and fade to black.
@ JS, since you have such a keen take on this, tell us your background in the industry and why haven't you applied for the position you seem to have first hand knowledge of......
I agree. Leno is no Johnny Carson and his style is old and boring. Time for some new blood. Not sure Jimmy is the one for the job though.
You agree that Leno is no Carson??? Well, duh! Leno's not even Pat Sajak, Chevy Chase or Alan Thicke. Remember their late night shows? Don't worry, most other people don't either. ;)
HOWARD STERN SHOULD REPLACE LENO!
Not now and not ever. Are you insane????
Don't ever believe the pranks of blogging - it could be a fake.
YOU GET WHAT YOU GET....
I have watched Jimmy Fallon's show, and he is not funny at all. I liked him on SNL, but many times I have told myself to watch his show again, and when I do I am always disappointed. Maybe with better writers he would make a good hosts, but right now he would kill the show.
no they are not...so then move along..dearie
Fallon's a good choice considering the shallow pool of availible talent. I prefer Jimmy Kimmel though. As some have pointed out, Fallon is a little sef-serving and his ego doesn't match his talent.
jimmy fallon show sucks and shouldn't be considered as host of the tonight show. all he does is laugh all the time and slaps the desk. he is very unfunny, and his bits are horrible.
Leno is a weasel and he needs to go. He stole The tonight show back from Conan, and he's not funny at all. Leno is a terrbile person and needs to get the boot.
Pure BS. Conan sucked – NBC got rid of him. Change your diapers – you will feel much better!
Leno stole the show back from Conan?? What the F?? I don't like Leno, but that's a bunch of bull shiwawa. Leno VOLUNTARILY agreed to move to the 10 p.m. slot – five years ahead of time! – so that Conan could have the Tonight Show. Then, it was NBC, NOT LENO, who told Conan he was being moved to midnight and told Leno he would move back to 11:35 for a half hour show. Leno had NOTHING to do with those decisions... he just went along for the ride because he's been a loyal soldiers for over 20 years to NBC. Again, I'm not a fan of his or the show's, this nonsense about Leno ruining Conan is ridicuous. Conan QUIT because he didn't want to move to midnight like NBC told him he would. Period.
Too wordy...and I dont care about him – good day eh
1) Jay Leno ALWAYS wins his time slot. So, no one should be in a rush to replace him until he chooses to go.
If you don't like him..don't watch him. Apparently, he doesn't need you anyway.
2) Fallon can be entertaining, but he's getting pretty full of himself. And, his songs/routines are making him a lil bit like a one trick pony. Plus, he's everywhere...TOO much exposure never works out well for celebs over the long run.
3) The reason the shows are taped in LA is because stars are more readily available there. Letterman is already here getting limited # of stars in NY. If they taped both shows here they would be splitting the limited guests. Now, when a star is in NY they are on every NY show and say the same thing over and over. No need to tune in at night when we've seen them on Kelly & Michael, Rachel Ray, Today Show and/or GMA.
4) Leno appeals to all people. He may knock Repubs but he also knocks Obama and Libs. He's not constantly so far to left that he turns everyone
