Dec 7, 20120Just awful.
This guy doesn't know how to interview people, and his jokes revolve around retelling the guests' jokes.
Unfunny jokes with weird timing and an unpleasant host personality.
Jimmy Fallon should stick to sketch-writing, because this is just awful. -
Apr 7, 201110I love Jimmy Fallon, he is refreshing and multi-talented, he can sign, dance and he is funny. He beats Conan all to pieces. If Jay ever decides to go I hope they choose Jimmy.
-
Aug 16, 201010I think the people laugh because nobody is laughing at his jokes. the roots are probably the only reason i watch not including the clips and hashtag skits.

JaneDJan 11, 20108I have three small children and still stay up past Letterman and O'Brien to watch Jimmy Fallon. Not all nights are worth it, but when he hits it, he hits it and I find myself laughing out loud, by myself at midnight. Housewives of Late Night and some other bits are particularly funny.

RanelNov 29, 20091I tried watching this show for 2 months to see if he has any chance to be any good, turns out he doesn't. And he just not funny, his monologue isn't as funny, and he just has the lamest skits i.e. "Lick for $10". My gosh, he makes Jeff Dunham look good.

tbbbbSep 23, 20091haven't laughed once... too much for him. go back to SNL if they'll even take you after this show. get some new writers or something, plus.. i just don't think he's got the host personality. i'd rather watch ben stein commentate the UFC.

hasanhSep 5, 200910I think he's really funny. all he needs is a few months to get into a rythm i mean no one starts off great

EUSep 1, 20090I went in hoping Jimmy Fallon would at least live up to a quarter of the legacy Conan left him, but I can honestly say Jimmy Fallon is NOT funny. He lacks the humor and charisma Conan brought to Late Night. Next time, NBC should look for an established comedian, as we see with the Carson Daly project, actually being funny is very important.

ErollMAug 2, 200910Be nice to late night with Jimmy Fallon he's best the guy in world and funniest and Jokes could lead him to Next King of Late night for 30 years. only if a Clown Says that.
-

CameronCJul 26, 200910You just gotta give fallon a chance. He is probably one of the most entertaining hosts of any of the late night shows right now. He is just starting so don't keep on giving him a hard time and just wait...soon he will fully develop as a host and he will be amazing.

DavidRJul 7, 20093He just doesn't have it. Jimmy is not THE guy. He's uncomfortable, uninteresting, and forced. It's just too big a platform for him to fill. He doesn't engage the audience and it's almost like watching a child perform for an adult audience
-
-
ChrisSJul 5, 20091His show earns one point for the Roots, but they're just there to get paid. Fallon is fallin' sluggishly into another night show disaster. I cant watch an entire show, but the glimpses I've seen are always flat.
-
-
davidrJun 14, 20091Some sketches are starting to show promise....and Fallon can be "funny" physically....but he just doesn't have the funny brain gene. Plus....his ticks and attitudes drive me crazy! i.e....the cheerleader thing.....exhorting us to get excited!

-
DerekSBJun 12, 20093The guy was great in SNL, but so far his late night show is very very weak. I"m very disappointed. His schmoozing with the guests is painful, as he kissed their asses and they his. No imagination with the bits. I've given up on the show - BORING!
-
-
UkoJun 10, 20092I really try to laugh.I really try.
-
-
RobertBJun 6, 20098I love his band and I love his show. Especially when he slow jams the news.
-
-
ChristyMJun 5, 20092I don't think Jimmy is quite ready for his own tv show, its awkward to watch, he seems kinda lost in what to ask his guest. It doesn't seem to be getting better. The only word that keeps coming to mind is awkward.
-
-
CodyBJun 3, 20099The first couple of weeks were short of painful, but now he is coming into his own. I laughed really hard at last nights show (06/01). With the Roots as a band and a lot of Saturday Night Live humor, you can't go wrong.
-
-
scottfJun 2, 20090One of the worst talk show and the worst late night show ever. Jimmy Fallon was the worst pick compare to other SNL members. His joke are not funny, it sound like most of the laugh he get are from people who feel sorry for him. But most of all he has taken a type of entertainment made famous by Carson, Leno, and Letterman and just ruined it.
-
-
CaroleJMay 26, 20090I keep waiting for Jimmy Fallon's show to get better. It doesn't. Just awful.
-
-
JamesSMay 8, 20092What a terrible choice for a band. There's little banter between Jimmy and his band. There also seems to be very little chemistry, unlike that which existed between Conan and the Max Weinberg Seven, particulary with Max himself, and La Bamba. This even makes Paul Schaeffer look funny.
-
-
MarianaDApr 25, 20091Disappointing, I want that hour of my life back. Insults my intelligence that he thinks he's gonna make us believe his jokes are actually funny.
-
-
AlexGApr 7, 20090Conan takes Fallon and stabs him in the face. Fallon is bad.
-
-
ChuckDApr 7, 20097He has a lot of learning to do, but I see potential in him. I think he just needs to relax a little bit more and not try too hard.
-
-
HughDApr 3, 20091Pathetic and Embarrassing to watch. Childishly stupid attempt to be funny (lick it for 10 - holy cripes!). This show is totally doomed to the rubbish heap.
-
-
BobFApr 2, 20092Jimmy seems like a nice guy, but the writing isn't giving him anything. Thd band doesn't connect at all and they look and act like they just got out of prison. Compare it to Kevin Eubanks and the Tonight Show band where Kevin warms up, smiles and jokes with the host. I really hope he succeeds, but there's nothing there right now and I can't see it lasting as is.
-
-
MichaelCApr 1, 20093If it weren't for the producers beefing up the show with big time celebrities, Late Night might have flopped altogether. However, I'm actually glad that Jimmy is so bad, it gave me a chance to discover Craig Ferguson on CBS.
-
-
BrendonJMar 30, 200910I'm surprised that most people aren't even giving Fallon a chance. Though a bit nervous during the first few episodes, it really does feel like the show is finally hitting its stride. VERY funny stuff, and it altogether feels very unique. I can only see this show getting better (maybe even as good as Conan).
-
-
ZaheerSMar 29, 20095A rocky start, to be sure, but let's face it, late night talk-show hosts rarely, if ever, start off well. Conan was disastrous when he began, and everyone acknowledges that. With time, Fallon will probably grow into his position. Until then, we still have Conan.

SteveAMar 16, 20092There isn't enough room on late night TV for two Jimmy's. Guess which one has got to go.

-
MikeSMar 15, 20091Fallon is clearly way out of his league. His Weekend Update delivery style mixed with horrible writing is a complete disaster. He acts like a giddy fan conducting interviews. NBC's unlikely talk show host experiment should have ended with Conan.
-
-
PatrickMar 13, 20095It's not as much that we're laughing with him as much as were' laughing at him. The DeNiro interview was a trainwreck.
-
-
RhodyTMar 12, 200910He's not as good as Conan was when he left, but he's MUCH better than Conan was when he started. Think about that.
-
-
JosephJMar 9, 20091Simply awful.
-
-
DavidC.Mar 8, 20090This was awful The writing Fallon's delivery and everything except the Roots. Please let it end
-
-
RICHARDK.Mar 6, 20094It's a tough job when you're brand new to it, but Fallon appears way too nervous and lacks confidence. He needs poise.
-
-
PeteMMar 6, 20091Painful to watch. I don't know if I feel worse for Fallen or the audience. Literally no laughs. Doesn't look like he can ever be as good as Conan, Kimmel, Craig Ferguson, Leno, Letterman. Has the potential to be better than Daly. But why get a stump like DeNiro for the first show anyway?
-
-
ChrisCMar 4, 20090Why is Jimmy Fallon a famous comedian? Nothing he's done in his career has been anything but incredibly stupid. He wasn't funny on SNL (He just laughed at the camera a lot in a charmingly schoolboy way), he's only made horrible movies. Why is Jimmy Fallon a celebrity?!
-
-
JonB.Mar 4, 20091Fallon is out of his league as a host of a talk show. It's painful to watch him stammer through the show. Not good looking like a deer caught in the headlights.

MARIE-ANNECMar 4, 20098Despite obvious and expected nerves -with a difficult first up guest- Jimmy went well on debut. Judgement SHOULD start around the end of week2. Until then, just relax, let him find his feet and enjoy!
-
-
30Even granting lots of leeway for opening-night nerves, this was a pretty bad beginning for the Saturday Night Live alum.
-
An attempt to be silly like O’Brien, his Late Night predecessor, instead had a trying-too-hard feel that approached Carson Daly territory (a place you do not want to be).
-
40On a late-night show, either the non-interview comedic bits have to be inspired, or the interviews have to be smooth. With a few exceptions, neither worked all that well during Fallon's first show. The comedy frequently fell flat, and as a host, Fallon is underwhelming at the moment.
