In another hilarious "Pros and Cons" segment, Fallon considered all the good and bad things about hosting the Emmys.

Overall, it looks like hosting the Emmys was a pretty epic time.

This guy is not funny at all. How does he have a late night show?

The opening was outstanding. If you didn't like him, you're just not a fan.

Although I did like the opening, as 'I've said earlier I don't think it made up for the entire show, and most of it I did not find so great. But you are right Patricia, I was never a real fan of his. I think he can be funny at times like other comedians and I'm always very happy for anyone's success, so I do wish him continued new fans, happiness and success!

Do not know why, but sometimes Fallon makes me hate the Late Night shows! They have become so predictable and lazy.

His goodbye tribute to 24, lost and law and order was so good... I like gervais but Jimmy is really winning me over!

Seriously, tell me that some other people think this whole Betty White thing is played out. Please. Don't let me be the only one. Yeah, she's old and she says zany things. We get it. Move along.

Didnt see it. Stopped watching when he started right wing jokes on his show. Just not my taste. Dont find it funny. Stresses me out when Im looking for comedy release. Too much piling on the POTUS. Heres a joke. A little boy from SNL got a boehner he couldnt control.

Boy, talk about growing on the job. The kid just keeps getting better and better. Fallon has so many talents - it's almost unfair. In an age of snark - he's a great antidote. I have a hunch this is just the start for him.

He did an ok job hosting. As for me, I think every award show should just be turned over to Ricky Gervais.

This bit, however, totally unfunny

Is Fallon actually 'growing' in his capacity as talkshow host or is he simply looking better in comparison as his competition grows ever more geriatric? Letterman is 63, Leno is 60, Barbara Walters is 81!

He did an OK job, but I see he likes to play his guitar! Liked him as Elton! this blog, www.imeanwhat.com has reviewed the Jimmy too! I love Jimmy Fallon, he seems like a genuinely cool dude!
