The only thing Fallon did regarding that debacle was on the night of Conan's last show Jimmy and The Roots all went over to Conan's old Late Night studio and sang an Acapella version of "It's So Hard To Say Goodbye" at the end of his show. He did make a few jokes during it though. I remember he said that if he learned anything from Dave and Conan it was that hosting Late Night was the only guaranteed way of never getting The Tonight Show. Guess that turned out wrong.

Conan "got" the tonight show too, though. There's no way the same thing happens of course but it is crazy to think of Jimmy Fallon hosting the show. It's lost some prestige since Johnny though.

No doubt they'll lose viewership from the septuagenarians who thought Leno was "good" for whatever reason, but hopefully NBC won't be stupid enough to make their programming decisions on the strength of a demographic that's knocking on death's door again.

Tonight's Fallon's first Tonight Show. Guests include Will Smith and U2. Who's gonna be watching? I will for at least his first few shows to see how he does. Maybe he'll be nervous at first but ease into it or maybe he'll take off running from the start and keep it up. Guess we'll see tonight.

Calling it now he'll be the same as always and consistent throughout his entire run on the show.

Honestly if you'd have told me the guy who always broke on SNL skits (especially if he was paired with Horatio Sanz) would one day land one of the most prestigious jobs on television, I'd have said you were nuts.

Not only that he'd get it, but do really well at it (which, regardless of how you feel about him, he probably will). I always liked Fallon (even on SNL), but I certainly know that's not a common opinion

I set the DVR to catch tonight's premiere. Unless there's a guest I just have to see in upcoming weeks/years, it'll probably be the last time. Same will go for for Late Night when Seth makes his debut.

Mister Kingdom posted:Same will go for for Late Night when Seth makes his debut. I don't have high hopes for Seth and I imagine NBC feels the same way. Seth is older than Fallon, comes from literally the same background and is ugly as poo poo, so his hire clearly isn't a succession plan. Meyers is there to fill a spot and I'm wondering what, if any, value he brings to late night. All things considered, it wouldn't a surprise to see Seth replaced either in the next year or the second his contract expires.

Is it really that prestigious anymore? I mean, I'm not saying that the Tonight Show doesn't still get a lot of viewers or that it's not something that you would work your entire career to get, but the way NBC has been going for the last several years makes me feel like the network has lost a lot of its prestige in general.

Yeah, it's pretty much been that way since Friends went off the air. But still... if a celeb has something to promote, late night TV is still the way to go. Every time there's a big blockbuster movie you know drat well the stars will be making the rounds, and IMO the Tonight Show is still the king. SNL is #1 if you're going overall, but I'm talking in terms of 5 nights a week.

I'd watch Late Night again if they were able to get the rights to the Weinberg 7 theme again. That theme has been retired for too long.

Gotta be careful with the wide shots of Fallon and the announcer. In 4:3 it's just a blank shot of the set.
