I think Conan is a good interviewer when he gives a damn about the guest.

Tough break for you.

This.

I know he's too edgy for mainstream, but Fallon isnt anywhere near as entertaining.

speaking of doing 'history of rap' with Timberlake on friday, will he do one for the tonight show?

RichC2

I don't find Ferguson particularly edgy, my issue with him is a lot of episodes just seem like they're shot in his basement, and aren't all that entertaining.

I'm trying out Fallon tonight, I enjoy his show in spurts and don't hate him like everybody else on the internet seems to (seriously, he can knock something out of the park and sure enough "Some shitty group of people did it better!") but it doesn't generally sustain for a full hour. His opening is ridiculously sincere, if a little nervous (albeit less so than the original Late Show episodes), the SD broadcast of this however is really, really bad, there was a shot a second ago where Fallon is talking to Higgins across the stage and neither is on screen (don't have an HD box upstairs).

I used to like Ferguson a lot more than I do now. Still like him, but I think I like Fallon and Kimmel better now.

I like that the set is kind of dark, this is really just Late Night at an earlier time.

aktick

Just so weird having it in NYC.

Tina Fey looked hot.

RichC2

Well that was an eclectic group

Obey The D

Those pants were pretty damn hot.

aktick

That was good. Tina Fey is impressively attractive.

Edit: late to the party I guess. IMO she was the hottest girl that walked out.

Fallon got an impressive list of people to show up to "give him 100 bucks for not believing he would host the Tonight Show'

jeffkjoe

So far, Jimmy Fallon show is ten times more fun than Jay Leno's.

Rypro 525

also

aktick

Well yeah, I don't think anybody on here would expect it to be less entertaining than Leno. The trick will be whether it can be higher rated then Leno.

jeffkjoe

West Coasters, the set has a lot more wood than Late Night's.

But the set feels more Tonight Show-ish than Late Night's. More classy and jazzed up.

RichC2

Jesus, Fallon is in hyperdrive tonight.

AaronHernandez

sucks about Leno losing his show just when I saw the perfect article in the paper to bring laughs on headlines.

PenguinJoe

I think Conan should have kept his show in NY, NY has a different vibe than LA. I dig this though. U2 playing on a roof top, that's awesome.

Rypro 525

And so far this is pretty much Late Night at 11:30. also liked that after the intro he went back and essentially did a monologue

aktick

Agree. I loved Conan in NY, never liked him too much after his move to LA.

astrochimp

Was cool cept some of the camera shots made me kinda queasy

Trelach24

Will Smith is a notoriously bad dancer (all things considered) so it's funny that he's the one who did that.

aktick

Where's Tina?!
