Fallon has some talent. Who knew?

[docmirror]

I've been stuck in a place for a while and watched some late nite. Couple of shows in, and I'm warming up to Jimmy Fallon. Saw and heard him sing a bunch of duets last night. Also can think well on his feet.

No big fan of NBC or late night shows, but was reasonably impressed with the quality of his work. I'll come back.

Hated him on SNO, felt he was an Adam sander wannabe. But his late night show, actually pretty good. Breaks away from the old routine of just sitting there talking.

Exactly what I liked. There was some entertainment value again, meshed in between the plugs. He played egg roulette with Ryan Reynolds last night, and notwithstanding it was schtick, it came out pretty good. And his duets provided some decent music as well. Needs some polish on his monologue, maybe he can hire Leno for some PT work. lol

He does a great Neil Young!

And here I thought you were talking about 35AOA.

Nauga,

This one caught my attention a few weeks ago - I honestly had no idea Fallon did impressions and more ... and also was pretty impressed with Aguilera's Cher impression

Ditto, where 40 equals 11.

Context: Ain't that a *****!

Thanks guys! I never had any interest in Fallon until this week, and I think he's gonna go great on Late Show. Really surprising, I thought he was just a stand up comedy guy, very mistaken.

I don't normally care for Fallon (I prefer performers with talent and at least some skill) but I admit that his impressions are pretty entertaining. I wonder why they didn't take the skit with Bruce Springsteen a little further, they had territory to exploit for sure.

This is my new favourite-Fallon recaps the SNL 40th "After Party"

Considering his life so far, having this be the 2nd best night of his life carries some weight.

Always liked Fallon but don't think much of his band.

When I read the title, I thought you were talking about Fallon Nv. I once knew a girl there that has a talent you'd never forget.

Yeah, I met her a while back. Very talented indeed.
