Comments on: Jimmy Fallon To Replace Conan? http://www.oliverwillis.com/2007/02/23/jimmy-fallon-to-replace-conan/ Like Kryptonite To Stupid Sat, 11 Feb 2012 06:30:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Alan http://www.oliverwillis.com/2007/02/23/jimmy-fallon-to-replace-conan/#comment-83755 Alan Tue, 29 May 2007 18:05:33 +0000 http://improveman.com/ow2008/?p=6872#comment-83755 I like Conan, but I truly believe he'll change a bit when he takes over the Tonight Show. As in he won't do some of the type of skits he does now and things will change. Will he be funnier or less funny? That remains to be seen, but he won't do as much gross out comedy I think. It will be like when Letterman went to CBS, he quit doing some of the stuff he once did and still did others like the Top Ten list and stuff. As for Fallon. He does suck. Was on the View today and he was awful. Sang some lame song and was all nervous and stuff. He is not very good. To me on Saturday Night lIve, he was another Adam Sandler knock off with a bit of Dana Carvey added in. He just isn't as good as either one of them. Well I am hoping someone els egets the show. Don't know who it could be. But I will second the person who said Craig Ferguson. Only thing is he's aiming to replace Letterman and not leaving CBS.

He was always funnier, and a much better on-camera performer, than Conan. Conan seems nervous and twichy, like a high school guy trying to impress a girl. Andy was THE SHOW before he left.

Fallon is horrible, simply horrible. I hated Fey too, though I like her on 30 Rock. None of them can hold a candle to Amy Poehler and Darrell Hammond.

Jimmy Fallon may have been on SNL in a less-than-hilarious era, but he was by far the funniest guy there. He and Tina Fey were the best Weekend Update hosts since Norm McDonald, and his impressions were spot on too. He's actually a very talented comic, if you're willing to look past Fever Pitch. And that awful movie with Queen Latifah. But otherwise, a funny man. But let's look at the big picture: the world will be a better place when Conan is in Leno's slot and I can watch him even when I don't have insomnia. Case closed.

To their most rabid fans, every song they've ever written are the first songs in their list of the best songs every written. If you even dare to say there's a better drummer in the world than Neil Peart, you'll probably get something thrown at you. Though I don't see the similarities between them and Conan fans. That's what Letterman fans were like before he went to NBC. Hell, many accused him of selling out because he started wearing shoes with his suits instead of sneakers. I still remember when Conan was announced. 99% of people were like, "Who?" And now I have to agree that he is (and has been) the funniest late night guy on for some time now.
