Avery, Spencer and Heidi on the show and it's Jimmy Fallon that is the most annoying.

Before NBC takes it down, Sonic Youth killed on Fallon last night:



I like how they have the audience surround the bands. The Roots were great doing improv last night too.

that Avery interview confirmed for me why nobody, on earth, including himself, likes him.

He came across as probably one of the worst people, ever created. What an ass-hat.

Fallon just happened to be on my tv while i was doing something else. Man. This guy stinks. It's like a train wreck. Just when you think he can't be more of a robot, no-charisma bozo, he keeps going.

Ya, he seems so stiff and dull. Although, I heard his impressions aren't that bad.

I think I was in this thread earlier expressing my dislike for Jimmy Fallon on his show. But I have to admit, he's growing on me!! The skits between the monologue and guests are usually pretty funny.

It's good thing his show has money, and they gave him the chance. He'll probably get the whole talk-show thing down soon, NBC probably chose him for a reason

As much as I want to like Fallon... I just don't 'laugh' when watching his show.... I WANT to, but I can't cause it's just so unfunny...

I think Fallon appeals more to young 20 years olds - a lot of his jokes and sketches are about twitter and facebook and reality shows. Stuff I don't get.

The Roots are worth the price of admission. When they improvise songs for audience members you can see how versatile they are.

I disagree. After having gone back and watching the first couple of episodes of Conan, I think he was just as funny then as he is now. Weird body gestures, geeky awkwardness....that wasn't him being bad, that was him being Conan.
I think Conan's success is more due to his audience finally getting what he is about, not he himself changing.

Switched over to Fallon after the Flames game and saw this, which I think is possibly one of the best bits I've seen him do, either on SNL or his new show:

Why do the girls like him so much? He's not really that good looking, is he?

With Conan on hiatus, I've been checking out Fallon lately - he seems to be finding his feet. Here he slow-jams the news with Brian Williams and The Roots:

This is my favorite bit. I am still hoping that this will happen and Tiffany will show up.
