So this week Jimmy Fallon began his new job as host of Late Night. I’ve been watching diligently as a fan of television and comedy. I’ve been doing my best to keep watching despite the fact that it’s been about 90% bad and awkward so far. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE The Roots and I thought JT and Tina Fey were both kinda good and I legitimately liked “Slow Jam The News” but overall it’s been a train wreck. Regardless I’m trying to work through it and keep supporting Jimmy because when you boil it all down this means that eventually this is leading to Jimmy replacing Jay Leno’s presence on national television 4 nights a week and no matter how bad it gets for Jimmy he will always be better and more tolerable than Leno.
All that being said he did this bit last night and I think it was his first really great bit.
The rest of the show was really good too. I recommend watching his dance contest with Cameron Diaz (schwing!) and his segment Squashing Beef in which they picked hilariously ugly looking guys to play Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie. Congrats Jimmy! Keep it up. And congrats to A.D. Miles who I’m also a big fan of and is Jimmy’s Head Writer.
