Late Night with Jimmy Fallon: EPIC FAIL

// I'll be honest, I never liked Jimmy Fallon. I always thought that he was cocky, arrogant, basically not funny, and constantly broke character on SNL to beg for laughter. I understand why most people liked him, he had that cuteness factor to him where he was basically saying 'I have no idea what's going on but it's pretty funny!!!!. I get why someone would laugh at this the first time, but to continue to do so is beyond me. Jimmy Fallon, to me, represents the antichrist. Honestly if you look at what skits and movies he has been in, he might as well directed every single 'Scary Movie', 'Epic Movie’, and 'Disaster Movie'. My point being is the people that like these movies will love the new Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, because after every joke that Fallon makes during the monologue deserves a forced laughter.

// Let’s not lie, Conan’s monologues were never that good, and often did not deserve laughter, if any, but it was the way that he delivered it that made it funny. Jimmy Fallon has no experience in this, he is used to the “AUDIENCE” sign coming on after his horribly delivered jokes, in which if no one laughed he would start laughing to start making everyone else laugh, because hey laughing is funny!. It is if Fallon knows that his jokes are bad, but is not willing to submit, as Conan did, to how bad of a joke it is. This smartass (I don’t know how else to categorize it) way to tell jokes is not going to work out for him. The following at Late Night is going to give him a couple passes at first to allow him to get his bearings, but they won’t allow to much bullshit, allow me to explain.

// Tonight, I watched the premier episode of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and felt awkward. While Fallon was delivering his monologue I felt bad for him, I’ve noticed throughout time that I can notice when someone is publicly speaking nervously, and Fallon definitely was. By that, I mean that he was constantly bringing his finger up to wipe his nose, shaking his head, hesitating his words, and giving uncomfortable laughs for approval. I literally felt bad for him, which I’m guessing is not what a new late night show host is striving for. He no longer had that ‘forced laughter’ that basically made him as big of a star as he is. He is now in the stratosphere of actually delivering on jokes (which he is clearly bad at), because that’s the only reason people watch the Late Night show.

// His monologue was to the point of badness that I felt bad for him. The jokes weren’t that bad, I actually think that he has the same writers as Conan, but who knows, I’m too lazy to look it up, but it was just how he delivered him that made me feel bad for him. He basically looked at the TV screen and begged for approval. In which I replied, “Stop looking at me!” The worst part was when he got a legitimate big time star for an interview, Mr. Robert De Niro.

// Fallon: Oh man, (hand up to face) you have no idea what this means to me that you are here.
// Robert De Niro: Yeah…. Well…..
// Fallon: (hand to face) do you realize how big you are?!?!?
// Robert De Niro: Yeah…
// Fallon: (Laughing like a school girl)
// Rober De Niro: (Uncomfortably) So you got any questions?)
// Fallon: HeHeHeHaHaHa
// Robert De Niro: …………………………..
// Fallon: (Still laughing like a school girl) how cool are you??

// That’s about as much as I could watch, maybe he had better questions for Justin Timberlake, but I thank there on the same level.

// Hopefully this does not set a new precedence on Late Night of being a complete douch to the guest and making them feel uncomfortable. I hope that we can take Jimmy Fallon’s training wheels off now, but who fucking knows. All that I know is that I'm not going to waste anymore time watching Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
