Yeah, Fallon started out with a really fresh take on late night TV, but imo he's kind of made his own format stale by doing what every late night show strives for.......viral internet success.
I realize that with his type of games and interviews a lot of it had to be staged, but it was a lot more relaxed/organic a few years ago. Now a days I almost roll my eyes with some of the "unexpected" moments. It feels like he sits with guests for hours before the show and plans out every single moment and that happens in his games like they're acting in a sitcom.
