Fallon reminds me more of a 60s/70s variety show host. Really that's what he's doing, a mashup version of a variety show that includes a couch and a desk on the main set. And there is only a couch and a desk there because Carson is still the invisible lodestar of USA nighttime television.

Arent you comparing apples & oranges? All talk shows have soft-cushioned chairs for their guests..Are we gonna complain about Jimmy having a soft couch?

At first I thought Fallon was good...but now I think I was tricked by the slick production alongside with The Roots.

.

He's way too much an ass kisser and his interviews are very shallow compared to Letterman. Boring.

Music, sweet music, I wish I could caress and...kiss, kiss...

So what you're saying is, you're too young to remember Johnny Carson.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Johnny Carson didn't take BS off people. One of my favorite shows was when he trapped popular psychic Uri Geller into backing out of his bending a spoon with his mind & other "psychic" tricks. Johnny did not allow Geller anywhere near spoons and other props before the show... lol

Yes, I am.

I guess that's why I stick with Oprah and Ellen.


99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%.
