They should have given it to Conan when they had the chance but they keep insisting on giving it to soulless narcissists like Leno and Fallon.
This, Conan has always been infinitely funnier, and he still has employees that followed him from the Late Night show that seem to love working with him
so much love for Conan. I've only seen a few clips, I'll have to seek him out a bit.
ok I just watched this and he's actually great: https://youtu.be/FIHxrzOQtm0
They did give it to Conan, then they gave it back to Jay. Like everything else wrong in my life, I blame the boomers.
Oooh yes, they did Conan sooo dirty during that clusterfuck.

Unpopular opinion: Conan SUCKS and is not funny. His personal antics are downright cringey middle school level drek.
Yeah, not everyone like all types of humor. By actually having a personality and a distinct sense of humor he opens himself up to not being liked.
Unlike the charismatic black holes of Falcon and Leno that are just there and fills time until the inevitable heat death of the universe.
At least Leno was an ok interviewer and (at least based on his post tonight shown life) seems not to be a dick.
Fallon is SUCH a bad interviewer, it is incredibly grating.

I’ve always gotten strong Ellen vibes from Fallon.
I never understood how this unfunny douchebag got famous. Are people really fans of him or was having him TWO shows purely a studio decision? He was never funny on SNL.
I thought maybe it was just me, maybe I wasn't seeing something in 'slow jam the news' that was hilariously funny. But then he sucked up to Trump during the campaign in 2016 and I didn't give a fuck any more. Fuck him.
Jimmy Fallon is all that awkwardness of Nathan Fielder minus the intent or semblence of humor. He is the most boring, lame host I have ever seen on a show like this and I find him painful to watch.
Hence his prime spot. That’s why he’s famous. He’s milquetoast, he’s lowest common denominator, he’s white bread, he’s Big Bang Theory, hes Two and a Half Men, he’s a laugh track, he’s Jay Leno.
I haven't asked everyone I know or anything but I've yet to meet someone who I know likes Jimmy Fallon.
I think he's way, way, WAYYY worse than Leno, though. At least he leads a somewhat interesting life (albeit not interesting to me). Like I would be surprised to hear that Jimmy Fallon has any hobbies.
I don’t know anyone who likes big bang theory. But it’s the most popular show (or at least it was at some point). But there are sort of…layers/circles in which different types of people remain. The “Big Bang Theory” types hang out together, talk on Facebook, still use Reddit and mainly just subscribe to r/aww and r/funny, they go out to eat at the olive garden after church…that type of thing. Then there are the non-BBT types, that find a suitable instance on Lemmy and discuss how it’s possible people like jimmy fallon lol

Totally. I said the same thing when someone posted a thread about his behavior yesterday. I got a real asshole sense from him.

"I'm sorry (this got out)."
Guy is fake af, never understood the appeal of him or his show.
Absolutely.. And his obnoxious fake laughs are straight up nauseating...
I feel vindicated for strongly disliking him since SNL. Deuche bag ruined every single skit he was in. Absolute amateur laughing in every skit. Every time.

I'm to the point where I just assume if you're a celebrity you're probably a piece of shit.
I think that's a very safe assumption based on all the examples we've seen.

Jimmy Fallon is a robot designed to laugh at people's jokes no matter how unfunny they are.

Fallon is one of the least funny people on the planet. I am not joking. His shit keeps getting brought up on my YouTube feed and it is just utter crap.
The only time I had to laugh at something he was involved in, was when he made a crossover with John Oliver. Fallon obviously tried to advertise for Amazons Alexa, when Oliver suddenly asked Alexa about the working conditions in Amazon Warehouses. Fallon immediately shit himself.
Not trying to defend Jimmy Fallon, but is there a way to do a nightly television show for years on end that's healthy?
The constant demand to be fresh, funny, topical, appeal to advertisers, network execs and audience members. It's fucking insane how anyone can do it at all.
I'd imagine it takes it's toll on even the most level headed good people.
Most of the story might be construed as nothing but the show runner turn over raised red flags for me. Conan had the same show runner, Jeff Ross, for decades. Fallon can't keep a show runner for a year! On the Tonight Show! One of the most coveted show runner positions still left in Television. The fact that the most powerful people aside from fallon keep quietly leaving the show means to me that there is something rotten that they are all fleeing and keeping quite to protect their careers.
Conan seems to be well-regarded.
This is hilarious if you’ve ever worked in Hollywood: An NBC spokesperson told the magazine: “As in any workplace, we have had employees raise issues; those have been investigated and action has been taken where appropriate. As is always the case, we encourage employees who feel they have experienced or observed behaviour inconsistent with our policies to report their concerns so that we may address them accordingly.”
report their concerns so that we may address them accordingly
Which means they will fire that person and make sure they never work in the industry again. That sounds like a cliche you hear in movies, but if you know people who work in Hollywood you know that it's a real thing.
And we always tell them, you can be honest. Don't worry, we won't "retaliate"
But why the quotes?
Oh, just for emphasis that we absolutely will "not retaliate or fire you immediately and spread rumors about you"
Not surprised, never could stand that guy.
I don't hate him. Don't like him. I never found him as funny as Jimmy Fallon did either

Jimmy Fallon? Isn’t that the failed Andy Samburg?
He cancelled a Norm MacDonald appearance on his show for saying that he put Rosanne Barr and Louie C.K. in touch because of their shared experience. Like, a therapy thing. Jimmy claimed that a female his staff cried and locked herself in an office b/c of that. At least we know what room it was and what they were really crying about.
My only concern about all of this is that Fallon's Ben and Jerry's ice cream flavor is the best one! I can also groove on Colbert's but Fallon's is the best. Don't cancel Fallon's ice cream please!
