Schlinder's List is funnier than Jimmy Fallon

The Gentleman Masher — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 12:37:42 EDT

I'll wait and see on this one...he was actually pretty funny as a guest on the show. Maybe he's just a shitty actor?

Plus - it's perfect for him...he doesn't have to do any writing, get into character, or try and stop from laughing in the middle of a skit.

Brian Fellows would do a much better job.

@Wyshynski: I, also, love that Christmas song. And his very last skit on SNL when he's dancing in a locker room.

Could it be any worse than the dancing chicken that NBC was considering to replace Conan back in 1995?

What about Casey McCall? He was NBC's first choice for Late Night back in 1994 when Letterman bolted for CBS.

@Afino:

Say what you will about Simmons, at least he's made his hate for Jimmy Fallon pretty apparent.

Who is Conan O'Brien, and why is she so sad?

Great, just what I've wanted to see: A half-wit giggling through his own monologues.

Disapprove.

Only redeeming piece of comedy required Phish and Al Gore to pull it through.

@Doyle McPoyle: I'd always imagined it was a lot closer to Hungry Hungry Hippos.

I guess Carrot Top is waiting in the wings to replace Carson Daly.

If he enlists Horatio Sanz to be his sidekick, I'll shoot my TV.

Wyshynski — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 11:28:25 EDT

I'm not sure how he's going to pull this off, since Mike Myers and Adam Sandler have never hosted a late night talk show before.

/Confesses, however, that the Barry Gibb sketch and that goofy Christmas song with Tracy Morgan makes him laugh.

Hey, there's one positive: Lots of potential for Bill Simmons on the show!!

....what do you mean that's not a positive?

But a lot can happen between now and May 2009 in the chess game they call TV programming.

Chess game? I always figured it was more like a bunch of retards trying to fuck a doorknob.

Does this signal the return of Denise and Sully?

Am I the only one who doesn't hate Fallon? I get the annoying 2004 stuff, but I think maybe the criticism is overblown.

That show will be constant, non-stop laughs. Of course, all of them will be coming from Fallen laughing at himself, but laughter is contagious, right?

LeNoceur — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 11:02:35 EDT

Jimmy Fallon may or may not be funny. But it doesn't matter, because he has been dead to me since the 2004 World Series.
