Jimmy Fallon Enters The Late-Night Fray: "Right Now I Feel Like I'm Nauseous"

New York Times:

Jimmy Fallon joins one of the most exclusive clubs in television on Monday night, when he becomes the third host of NBC's "Late Night." But he has already been welcomed by the ritual passing of the plastic pickle.

The three-foot pickle arrived this week in Mr. Fallon's office, accompanied by a handwritten note from his predecessor, Conan O'Brien.

“Right now I feel like I’m nauseous,”

Hey jimmy, now you know how I feel just watching you trying to be funny.

"Right Now I Feel Like I'm Nauseous"

You and me both, pal.

Hell, Carson Daly still has a show so Fallon's got a fighting chance.

I hope his show airs in Rwanda. With him on the air, the genocide won't feel so bad.

That shows existence will be timed with a egg timer.

His movies s_uck and he was very weak on SNL. I can not remember one skit he did. VERY overrated for what he has done -

With the exception of Bill Murray, ex-SNL cast members are, collectively, responsible for what are arguably the most godawful "comedy" movies in the history of entertainment.

Yes, this includes the original cast members Chase, Aykroyd, and Belushi (except for Animal House) along with Murphy and Myers (who were good only in Shrek, mainly because we couldn't see them), Farrell and Sandler, and most assuredly the excremental Fallon, Spade, and Schneider.

As a late night host, Fallon will be lucky to come in somewhere between Chevy Chase and Dennis Miller, a truly sorry place to be.

I get your point....except Vacation and Trading Places were both funny movies.

Fallon is so not funny. The real winner will be Craig Ferguson.

"Right Now I Feel Like I'm Nauseous"

Dude mustta started listening to his own material.

[batmanindy]

Honestly, who is Jimmy Fallon?

By the way, I really fdo not know.

[zhuzhusteve]

I hear people comparing Fallon to Conan's initial start on Late Night, this is really out of context. Conan was a good comedy writer and FUNNY before he even started doing Late Night. Fallon is so hard to watch. He looks very amateurish on camera and seems lost in thought.

However, this is going to be worth watching because it will be so bad it will be entertaining, but in a painful way.

Late Night will now be tainted with its first failure and they will have to find someone that is worthy of Conan's position. Fallon is not Conan, Letterman, Leno nor those before him. Watch some of the SNL with Fallon....you'll click to another video asap!

Enjoy

I'm sure he'll be great on that show ! A couple of days ago he was interviewed on CBC radio and afterward the host played this song and said "This is going out to Jimmy Fallon . "

His first guest should have been Bush 43th, Cheney, Rove, Rice and Bolton.

You'll feel more nauseous once you see your ratings, prob least talented/funny and most overrated of the "famous" SNL alums.
