I personally think he has a Trump crush

He "broke character" with laughter so many times on SNL, I wondered if he was a simpleton or high on drugs.

I could accept it if the skits were truly hilarious and clever, but he'd break at just about anything.

Can't stand Jimmy Fallon. Total idiot.

I like it since I agree with it!

Back in the ’90s, I lived in an apartment off Sunset Boulevard, where I had quite the assortment of neighbors, including Ellen “Grandma Walton” Corby, Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead, and a struggling actor named Oscar Nuñez. Oscar was a performer at the Groundlings sketch comedy school, and I’d go see him perform.

I remember one show in particular in which each performer got five minutes to do a character of their own creation, and after watching one excruciatingly annoying character named “The Masshole,” I wanted to walk out. But I stayed to support Oscar.

The Masshole bit was just five minutes of a guy doing a bad Boston accent. No jokes. Just an accent, like “My brudda pahked his cahr in the yahd not fahr from Havaaad Yahd. It’s a wicked Camaraaa…” I remember thinking at the end of the gig, “Don’t quit your day job, kid.”

That kid was Jimmy Fallon.

He’s not funny. He’s not a good actor. He’s not a good interviewer. And so far, he has yet to have an original idea.

Fallon is the kind of guy that pulls out an acoustic guitar at a party and does a Neil Young impersonation or takes someone’s sunglasses and pretends to be Stevie Wonder.

Impersonations are the lowest form of comedy, just below puns. And impersonations of Gilbert Gottfried, Jerry Seinfeld and Adam Sandler are the lowest form of impersonations. Fallon does all three regularly.

He was the one guy on Saturday Night Live that could not stay in character. He would crack up laughing, flub his lines and stare directly into the camera.

I know not everyone falls for Fallon’s smirky, impish personality. It’s been reported that other SNL cast members weren’t keen on his antics. Tracy Morgan was bothered by the “laughing and all that dumb [bleep] he used to do — he wouldn’t mess with me because I didn’t ****ing play that shit. That’s taking all the attention off of everybody else and putting it on you, like, ‘Oh, look at me, I’m the cute one.’ I told him not to do that shit in my sketches, so he never did.”

I love Tracy Morgan!

is rarely something that professionals do organically. It is much more frequently done on purpose to make people feel that you are in on the joke with them.

It can be used to great effect in certain venues. (In my area of the world we call it 'Ren Faire preciousness') However, I've done shows with people who 'broke' at the same bit every night.
It's not the sign of a good performer, it's the sign of a jack-ass who no one wants to work with because he pulls focus.

Fallon has built a career on imitating others & laughing at his own sketches. Not a surprise he cozied up to a self-aggrandizing, hyperbolic douche. Same cloth, different pattern.

The Tonight Show is for people who "don't want to be upset with edgy humor" before bed.

They would have known that Letterman would have torn him to shreds and when he was done the only thing left of Trump would have been that furry thing he wears on his head, only it would be sitting on top of an asshole.

killing time until the Roots play.

and in doing so shows no integrity at all. Just remember what Letterman did to Trump when he was on his show as a contrast

Was this not a golden opportunity to get a boost in his ratings by heavily promoting the clip of Fallon messing up Trump's "hair" in the hours before it was to be shown? It was a gift to Trump as well, because it portrayed Trump as a likeable guy, instead of the asshole he is.

He kind of did the same thing when he appeared on Dr. Oz and asked the audience if he should "reveal" his health information. I think that was his plan all along....act like it was a spontaneous moment when he had that dramatic reveal intended from the moment he hatched the idea. In time, we may find out that it was Trump's idea for Fallon to mess up his hair.....giving him instructions on how to do it without ripping off his hairpiece. Did anyone notice how the whole thing moved as a whole?? They need to show it in slo-mo so it is obviously a sewn on wig.

Once again Trump proves he knows how to get attention and entertain. Maybe with any luck he will get an offer to play the President on a TV show and spare us the nightmare of him really being the US President.

: :

seeing this thing try to be likable, personable, funny is just to fake to me to waste my time. And it feel like I want to vomit every time I see him and think that this could be our next president. Everyone get out and vote, we have to defeat this thing

I won't be tuning in again.

Someone's not singing in tune with the chorus?

There,there. It will be okay.

Check out Trevor Noah's slam on Trump on last night's Daily Show.

I also get a better feeling watching Lawrence slam Trump and repeatedly calling him a liar.

Screw the enablers. I record Colbert and don't watch Failin.

Not one of 'em. They can try but he'll always be the king. Back then, Johnny Carson's opening monologue was a Must See, every night after the local news. He would put the nation's whole day - news, politics, fads, celebs, gossip, etc. - in perspective. There's nothing like that now, especially since Jon Stewart left the stage. HE was the heir-apparent. And at least we had him for awhile after Carson retired.

It's just not the same. I find the current crop of late night dudes really - um - well, not measuring up.

And how could anyone watch Fallon's 12 year old mentality on display in the first place? There are no intelligent conversations, ever. Just ego stroking and "wanna play a game?" Or dance?
Yawn.

Fallon doesn't entertain me. He's just not my kind of humor. I prefer Colbert and Letterman before him.

the six corporations who own all media have decided they do not want to give up the money in November; they want Trump to win. There is no other way to take this; it can't be explained away or ignored. Trump is heinous and Pence is more so. When the country lies in tatters, we must remember who is at fault, other than a dumbed down electorate. There is no serious election here; it is a WWE or monster truck rally, and it being sold as such. It is sickening.

.... hundreds per year. Save your sanity. Buy a Roku and watch what you want.

He was doing just fine IMO and he was only going to get better.

stop Trump for us.

If so, that's way cool of him!
