Jimmy Fallon (Leno's Replacement) is an Obama Sycophant....but he always impressed me as a genuinely nice guy. Not "Nice for the Cameras", or "Let me look good for this photo op".... Just a good guy who wound up in entertainment.
So, I tried to watch his show. I really, really tried. Watched it a number of times, particularly when WBill Jr was little, and I was up with him anyway.
I wanted to like it. Really, I did. But it stunk. And not just a little bit. Not just, "Wow, that last joke was a real clunker." The entire thing was just bad. Writing was bad. Fallon's delivery was bad. The skits were bad. Music was bad. It was just.......bad. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.
Dunno what NBC sees in the guy, unless they're like me, and really, really want to like him. I give him less than a year before he's toast.
Arsenio Hall is getting a late night show back on Fox pretty quick. My guess is that the timing is not coincidental. He's going to eat all the other late night hosts for lunch.
Correct politics trumps actual humor every time. Liberals largely do not understand real humor. To them everything is political and everything spoken is a demonstration of political relationships and desires. Liberals' "jokes" tend to be bitter wishes for misfortune and harm to non correct people like Ronald Reagan stepped in a pile of dog ordure and broke his wrist snarf snarf ha ha snarf spoken with tight jaws and a narrow grimace. Liberal TV execs try to bore or insult conservatives out of the audience because they know that even a reliable host/comedian might succumb to the temptation to cater to their conservative audience on the theory that they buy sponsors' stuff, too. Conservative audiences make them uncomfortable in that if conservatives are watching then they must be doing something unCorrect.
