Title: Vatican to investigate another miracle: Jimmy Fallon's show writes funny bit!
Post by: The Fake Shemp on June 24, 2009, 09:05:34 PM: This is the first time I've ever laughed at something on Jimmy Fallon's program. (http://www.hulu.com/watch/79354/late-night-with-jimmy-fallon-head-swap-vol-2#s-p1-sr-i1)

It feels like he stole a writer from Conan or something. Whomever wrote the sketch needs a raise and purge the rest of the staff.

Also, fire Jimmy Fallon.

Whoever, not whomever. Don't get fancy.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on June 24, 2009, 09:36:27 PM: The writing is actually not half bad. Some of his bits make me chuckle. I think his monologue jokes are better than Conan's actually.

But Fallon is an awful, awful interviewer. It's painful to sit through at times.

I do not know how he got the job.

Post by: muckhole on June 24, 2009, 09:38:08 PM: Sounds a bit like Conan's first year. I wonder if he'll find his stride (or is the show even doing well enough for that to happen)?

Post by: The Fake Shemp on June 24, 2009, 09:39:15 PM: His show has gotten a huge ratings bump since Conan took over The Tonight Show, actually. Conan is rapidly losing Leno's viewers to Letterman, but he's drawing in his built-in audience which is sticking around for Fallon's show.

I mean, I actually make it a habit to watch The Tonight Show, which is something I never used to do.

Conan is much funnier than Letterman, but Letterman is also awesome when he is being as asshole to his guests. :lol

Leno's audience skewed older than Conan's, and they are just not jiving with stuff like Twitter Tracker. Letterman has even beat Conan in overall ratings several times already, although Conan has the young demo pretty much locked down.

Post by: The Fake Shemp on June 25, 2009, 01:50:40 AM: So I actually tuned in tonight to see if he could ride the momentum and he seriously just aired one of the worst comedy bits I've ever seen on network television. Like MadTV would turn it down.

Post by: TakingBackSunday on June 25, 2009, 02:47:56 AM: He's just showing growing pains. I think he'll be fine, just like Conan was fine after a few years. Remember, it took Conan 4 years to really buckle down and get good.

Fallon just needs to work on his delivery. He's obviously not the student of comedy that Conan is, but he's a young guy that knows what makes most other young guys laugh, for the most part. Just needs a moment that really makes his show click, that's all.

It's pretty incredible how much he's gotten better in the span of 4 months though, even if he's not great yet.

Post by: brawndolicious on June 25, 2009, 02:57:57 AM: He used to be Tina Fey's Bitch so he used to be on SNL. If he's not a student of comedy than what is he?

Quote
He was a Computer Science major, but switched to Communications in his senior year, dropping out 15 credits shy of a degree.[3][7] "I was a Computer Science major. I got out once it got really hard. I made it up to C++. Then I couldn't do the math — it got really confusing. I switched to Communications, which is a ridiculous major — let's be honest," he recalls.

That explains a lot actually.

Post by: TakingBackSunday on June 25, 2009, 03:25:26 AM: He only got to C++ in his senior year? :lol

Isn't that like standard entry level coursework for high-level computer engineering students?

good single btw. I'm sure most people rolled their eyes when they heard about The Roots joining the show, but they've been fucking amazing without "selling out"

Post by: The Fake Shemp on June 26, 2009, 01:25:40 AM: Yeah, but they are never the butt of jokes - it is pretty much Fallon constantly telling them how great they are and that they are the greatest band ever.
