At first I thought the hiring of Fallon was stupid. He always kinda bugged me on SNL, the way he'd constantly break character by laughing and staring at the camera. He seems like the kind of guy who has alot of arrogance. But after catching him on Leno and later Conan a couple weeks back, I'm actually hoping it works out for him. He seemed so nervous and excited to take over, its exrtemely clear he recognizes what an honour it is to take over for Conan O'Brien. He even said he got Lazik(sp?) because he doesn't think its appropriate for a talkshow host to wear glasses. There was alot of sincerety to the interview, you could feel his butterflies.
I'm not saying he's for sure going to work out. But he just won me over a little in terms of him taking the job. At least he's very respectful of the position(and seemed humbled anyways), and appears to be doing everything in his power to make it work. That's all you can ask for. I'll give him a chance and watch a few. It'll probably take him a year or two to get comfortable but that's expected.
As for Conan last night, haha I loved that Finland sketch, they're bringin back all the classics. I love Jerry Seinfeld and I basically grew up on his show, but it makes me laugh how G-rated his stand-up is.
