Jimmy Fallon Taking Over For Conan O’Brien = NBC Goes From Suck To Blow

April 24th, 2008 12 Comments

It may be possible for NBC to find somebody less funny than Jimmy Fallon to host a TV talk show, but Carson Daly already has a job. Really though, Jimmy Fallon? Ick.

Jimmy Fallon appears to be inching closer to Conan O’Brien’s “Late Night” chair.

For months, Fallon has been widely considered the top choice to succeed O’Brien when he steps down next year. On Thursday, published reports said Fallon has signed, or soon will sign, a deal with NBC.

    Ack! Why is Conan O’Brien leaving? I can’t imagine Jimmy Fallon filling his shoes. The little twerp couldn’t find a joke if it bit him on the ass.

    They could have dug up the corpse of any random vaudeville star and it would have been a better choice.

    Screw all of that–move Craig Ferguson out of the insomniacs’ hour and give him Conan’s slot.

    Craig Ferguson is on at the same time as Conan. He’s going to get more audience now that Conan is moving.
