Jimmy Fallon named successor to Conan's throne.

[Direckshun]

Anybody hear about this?

I'm really not crazy about it...

[Demonpenz]

we want kilborn!

[Rooster]

we want kilborn!

What happened to Kilborn? He just disappeared. I could go for some Yambo.

[BigChiefFan]

I don't think Fallon is that funny-that's too bad he'll be Conan's replacement.

[Demonpenz]

kilborn bangs models and goes to laker games
JUMANGI!

[Pitt Gorilla]

Count me in the pro-Kilborn, anti-Fallon camp for Conan's job.

[beavis]

[Adept Havelock]

Jimmy Fallon? Might as well cancel it and bring back "Night Stand with Dick Dietrick". :shake:

[Mr. Laz]

they should just try and steal craig fergason away from the other channel.

dude is hilarious

[pr_capone]

Will Conan be taking Max with him to the tonight show?

Will the Tonight Show's format remain the same or will Conan take his brand of comedy with him?

[Frazod]

Agreed. Craig Ferguson blows them all away.

[BigChiefFan]

Conan's a little weird for the Tonight Show. Sounds like NBC's programming will be taking a nose dive.

have you ever watched him drunk(or something o:-))


omg ........ funny chit

Conan's a little weird for the Tonight Show. Sounds like NBC's programming will be taking a nose dive.Eh, what? Leno is horrible. NBC's lineup will improve by definition.

[The Franchise]

Great....so it'll be an hour show where 45 minutes of it will be Jimmy Fallon laughing at his own stupid jokes.

[BigChiefFan]

Eh, what? Leno is horrible. NBC's lineup will improve by definition.Leno isn't great but he's has more mainstream appeal than Conan does.

[Morgus]

I give him two years.

[POND_OF_RED]

Damn I was hoping for Magic Johnson to be given another chance.

[FAX]

Fallon is unbearable to me. Perhaps the most un-funny person alive. He's the Herm Edwards of comedians. The deep splinter in the ass of humorists. The persistent, patchy, oozing, itchy nutsack-rash of entertainers. Maybe they'll be showing X-Files reruns on another channel.

I have never watched Conan... so, I figure I'll never watch Fallon either.

I love Conan, though since he's on at 12:35am PST, I rarely have a chance to see him. Since I find Leno to be boring and unworthy of my time, I look forward to Conan coming to Los Angeles.

And for those of you who don't think he'll last, you're incorrect. NBC is building a new studio just for the Conan O'Brien show on the Universal Lot (which is less than 7 minutes from my house). They're also building a new site where they'll have the Today Show in Los Angeles. Currently, all four hours are filmed and broadcast from NYC but once the building is complete, 2 hours will be broadcast from NYC and 2 hours from Los Angeles. Tjey're planning an outdoor area for fans as well.

It'll be great for commerce to have both shows locally but there's major concern about traffic issues (to which I'm sure, none of you care. Just passing on info).

[Hammock Parties]

Can he wield the Atlantean sword with might?

[FAX]

Who is the Irish guy with the late night show? I caught a bit of his monologue the other night and thought it was actually pretty good.

[DaKCMan AP]

Conan is the absolute best. I've been a fan for a long time, got to go see a taping back in 2000. I'll probably adjust my work schedule so I can stay up for the 11:35-12:35 show - his current time slot is too late for me to get in at 7:30am.

As for Fallon - I'm not a fan, but I could see him do alright as a late night talk show host. Of course, he'll laugh through his entire monologue.

[JBucc]

I don't really care who's on in that slot since I usually don't stay up that late. I like Conan and am glad I'll get to see him more often.

[Easy 6]

Fallon is the single most over-rated SNL cast member of the last 20 years...he's never been in a hit movie, has never hosted any kind of talk show...what a terrible choice.

[alanm]

Is Leno quitting? I guess I should pay attention to entertainment news since I haven't heard boo about it. :hmmm:

[DaKCMan AP]

He's had his "retirement" from the Tonight Show scheduled for quite some time.

[Sully]

Funny...
I had my fingers crossed for Chevy Chase.

[Direckshun]

He's on Conan's show right now.

He's once again shifting around uncomfortably in the chair. How this guy's supposed to host a show where he's in the chair roughly 80% of the show is beyond me.

[007]

Leno isn't great but he's has more mainstream appeal than Conan does.

Carson retiring was the downfall of late night TV.:shake:

[dj56dt58]

yeah..he's gonna suck

Conan didn't impress, really; Fallon hasn't got too big a shoes to fill in my opinion.

Thank god Leno is getting the boot FINALLY.

He was credible in Almost Famous.

[cadmonkey]

Jimmy Fallon makes me want to kick myself in the dick......plain and simple.

[MVChiefFan]

I like Conan's interview style a lot better than Leno's. Frankly, I can't stand Leno. Fallon wasn't very funny on SNL, the only time I would laugh at him was when he would start laughing at someone else being waaaay funnier. Except for when he and Timberlake would do the "Barry Gibb Talkshow". That sh!t was hilarious!

[alanm]

I haven't watched the Tonight show since Carson retired. :shrug:

Craig Ferguson is far and away the best late night host out there today.

I'm not so very familliar with Fallon so I can't comment but I have to ask, "Is Fallon really less funny than Jimmy Kimmel?" That would take some doing, IMO.

Craig Ferguson, newly American of Scottish ancestry. He is on very late but he is absolutely the best late night host.

Scottish. Looks a bit like Frankenstein, takes his shoes off at the end of the show.

I've never seen Fallon do a talk show, Mr. el borracho, so I don't know about that part. I do know, however, that I'd rather stick broken glass infected with vaginal warts into my eyes than watch Fallon do that weird caveboy routine. Honestly, I have no idea why people think he is humorous. He is a walking pile of elephant sludge under a 200 dollar haircut.

I can understand that- their style of humor is very different so it probably just depends what you find humorous. O'Brien is very funny and he probably does "off" humor better than anyone else right now. Ferguson does a more mainstream humor (still not entirely mainstream but more than O'Brien) but he is so quick-minded it's astonishing.

I didn't even know who Jimmy Fallon was till I googled him. I agree with most on here that IMO he is very un-funny. I've seen him a couple of times on SNL and wondered who auditioned him and said YES, you should be on SNL.

Yeah, I still find Ferguson funny.

He will probably tone it down some. Letterman adjusted his style to more mainstream tastes when he left NBC 15 years ago.

And that's a damn shame.

I hope Conan stays true to himself instead of pandering to the timeslot, like Leno (who completely sucks, IMO).

[chiefs1111]

this is the worst possible news ever, Jimmy freaking Fallon is not funny!

[Thig Lyfe]

And that's a damn shame.

Same here. I'm guessing that Conan won't be willing to water himself down very much. I mean, when he's hosted the Emmy's (in prime time, mind you) he hasn't toned it down at all. So I'm definitely hopeful. But any Conan is better than Leno every day of the week.

Here's the Jimmy Fallon press conference...
