I don’t know why I hadn’t heard of this sooner, but apparently unfunnyman Jimmy Fallon has been in talks with NBC to fill Conan O’Brien’s spot on Late Night. Honestly, I’m not too surprised. The writers and producers of the show have already been trying really hard to make the show unenjoyable.
They constanstly have stupid bits and jokes that don’t even make ME laugh (an impressive feat, according to most of my friends), repeating the same joke 5 shows a week. After the opening monologue, the show is just a commercial for actor-of-the-day’s latest TV/Movie project. The conversations are dreadfully rehearsed or setup. I don’t even watch the musical guests. They haven’t had anyone good.
The only current redeeming factor of Late Night is Conan O’Brian. He’s wonderfully self-deprecating, and he’s got a weird sense of humor that tends to mirror my own. That’s always awesome. Sometimes he continues jokes beyond the crap that the writers provide into the genius territory.
[Update: I read the rest of the article. Conan is in fact moving to the Tonight Show. Epic Win. Now I don’t have to stay up so late.]
