To succeed Conan when Leno retires next year.

One of the very few recent SNL alums that might actually have some comedic talent. IMO Discuss… ---

I say it’s a good choice. Way better than some of the people that were rumored to be contenders for the spot. ---

I don’t like Fallon, nor can I think of any particular performance of his that I like… However - Late night host is a helluva lot different then stand up, or C rate movies. I think he’ll do “alright”, and it sure as hell is better then Carson Daly. ---

Fallon did a skit on SNL with Justin Timberlake where they were the Bee Gee’s… amazing performance. Other than that I’ve never really found him that funny. Maybe he’ll be good interviewing people though. Conan taking Leno’s spot is going to be awesome though.
