I’ve never found Jimmy Fallon funny. He isn’t awful, just always seemed—-I dunno—more juvenile jokes versus wit?

When Kimmel was temporarily suspended one of my first thoughts was “Fallon will be the only one of all the late night shows to try and weasel out of defending Kimmel as well as bend over not to make any jokes that might put him at risk with execs”.

I have even more reason not to watch him now.

Fortunately I don't watch 'late night' shows.

As he matured he became quite sensible about politics and wasn't afraid to honor the honorable while mocking who deserved to be mocked.

I usually watch his monologue before switching to local news and Colbert. He made a couple Trump jokes tonight then some inane skit involving members of congress. He started sing some stupid song and I flipped the channel.

He doesn't have to get politics to be mediocre. He's been doing it fine all along

Yeah - he stated rubbing me the wrong way when he was with Ben Stein and I've never recovered.

forum. It's heartwarming!

Last night Jimmy Kimmel called Traitor a SOB.. only he said the all the words right out Loud.. it was Glorious.

But I totally appreciate Jimmy Kimmel's growth into someone who cares. He used to cohost that ridiculous Man Show on Comedy Central which struck me as totally infantile - a show strictly devoted to male appetites and impulses. Wikipedia calls it a lampoon. I call it a celebration.

Anyway, I'm glad Kimmel is the man he is now.

some don't.

I'm thankful I did.

It’s a comedy show—there’s no benefit for him to publicly say otherwise. Virtue signaling should be done in his private life, unlike MAGA performers.

He can skewer Trump mercilessly if he wants from his show. I’m not a regular viewer but I find the show funny and his politics genuine. He shouldn’t declare his allegiance to antifa on-air and risk exposing the whole secret operation.

I've never watched a full episode since he's been there for no particular reason other than I don't find him to be funny.
Leno was better, but he was still no comparison to Mr. Carson, IMHO. I watch old Carson episodes but that's it.

Fallon is lukewarm, as is his humor. One side is a huge, harmful, dangerous, bad joke. The other side is occasionally ridiculous.

Jimmy you are the wrong side of this issue.

Sounds right to me.

he's always been like this.

way to take a stand their jimmy.

and I love his "both sides" comment.

Uh I fucking did Failon...he got FIRED for speaking out against a fascist dictator! Your a pussy failon and now kissing Trumps ring so your big ass check still arrives weekly.

Fuck you and your show,I won't be watching.

Stay in your hole Fallon.

You were a tool and a fool!

I have not been a fan of Fallon's. His jokes aren't knee slappers. His comments after the suspension of Kimmel showed how weak he is. I saw two live tapings of The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson hosted by Carson. (We saw a third that was guested hosted by George Carlin, who we both loved back then and saw live a couple of times.) While Carson tried to stay centered, he also knew how to hit politicians with sharp points on occasion. Fallen doesn't.

True story: This happened both times we saw the Carson tapings. You remember how Johnny used to swing an imaginary golf club as he went into the commercial after his monologue? Once the monitors in the studio went black and it wasn't going out on air, Carson would say, in his most inimitable and exaggerated Carson tone "Oooooooooooooooooh shit!" The audience screamed in surprise each time we heard it. I'll never forget that.

for Jimmy Kimmel and wimped out. He said he “didn’t know what was happening.” Really? Weak. Lame.

Says it all. I do not like his goofy style. Childish as hell and what a poor sport when he does all the little competition things.
But I am old, young folks may like him just fine.
“Now that’s the way you do it”!
Like he tells every artist.
He does have good varieties of musical guest.
Seth, Kimmel and Stephen will take the pig on none stop. And do damn good job without his weak stuff.

What a coward.

🤮

Whatever I've seen him do is imitative and void of content. And, he's always been a kiss-ass. Since 2nd grade.

we get enough "both sides" from the rest of the MSM.

He gets starstruck, and has lame interactions with the guests. I like Colbert, Kimmel and Meyers.
