never seen such an awkward, unfitting, terrible host on prime time spot. I gave him a chance, thought he could improve over the years but nope he's just as terrible as when he first took over the show YEARS ago. Always too star-struck with cringy worthy fake laughs. Painfully awkward delivery...it's rare to see him not trip over at least once during his monologue. ruins the joke. How do his writers/producers tolerate him? Really doesn't seem like a guy who was born to do broadcasting at all. Can't even come up with witty lines, can't even hold a brief interview for few minutes he has to always fill up his show with childish games. Kimmel got better, so did Seth Meyers over the years...but fallon stays the same. Never known anyone who says "I actually LIKE fallon" either irl.

yes

He's very talented but all-round, meaning his biggest talent ain't tv shows by definition.

Maybe that's part of his schtick...

I don't know if I can say he's the worst because I'm pretty sure that James Corden is the worst. But Fallon is definitely shit though. The insincere, over the top, obnoxious, fake laugh of his is really irritating. Added to the fact that he's just not funny, not to mention his amateurish interview skills, and it's pretty clear that he's got some serious dirt on the higher ups at NBC. He's the kind of host that only Americans would like. Compare him to Johnny Carson and its like they're doing two completely different jobs. Even Leno is great in comparison to Fallon. The best talk show host America has at the moment is Conan O'Brien. And even though he can be VERY over the top at times, he knows it. That's part of the act. Plus, his conversations with Jordan Schlansky are the stuff of legend. Also, please forgive my KCool impression, but I have met Jordan Schlansky in real life and he's EXACTLY as he appears on TV. The guy is so weird but hilarious. And I don't know if he knows it.

have you seen Conan's hour long (or so) sit down with Jack White? It's great

I like Jimmy and watch him all the time, but I don't like Wendy Williams. She's kinda like the TV version of Lipstick Alley. She talks trash about famous people and offers "advice" to them, but not to their face when they're a guest. Or she tries to get guests to talk about their dirt, Charlamagne tha God on the radio show The Breakfast Club & DJ Vlad does that too. Whenever someone has Wendy's show on I think about that Method Man video.

none of them come close to letterman for me

In the spirit of positivity - and I know we've done this before - here on the late-night hosts I liked the best:

1. Johnny Carson
2. Jon Stewart
3. David Letterman
4. Stephen colbert
5. Conan O'Brien

Kisses major ass.

No one's worse than Ellen.

There’re pretty much on the same level now. Ellen used to be alright maybe up to 12 years ago, but now it’s just sad to even watch her talk to anyone. It’s clear she doesn’t put as much energy or care into her profession anymore. She’s become slow and she stutters a lot more too. The “games” they play are terrible, don’t know at what point I’m supposed to laugh at all. IT’s time to pass the spotlight to someone more talented and fresh Ellen. In fact, it’s LONG OVERDUE.

Glad you mentioned Conan, he’s also one of my favorites. I used to think he was boring behind the desk, and but since he moved to TBS and now that he’s doing more remotes…his segments are pure comedy gold. Everyone’s good at different things and Conan’s strongest suits are improvising, unscripted materials and physical comedy. Oh and Jordan Schlansky of course. He doesn’t need a celebrity to entertain his audience, he seems genuinely interested in meeting more ordinary folks around the world and introduce diverse culture anyway, and he happens to be great at it. Also it’s just such refreshing material from watching talk show hosts talking cheap shots at politicians and celebs.

Fair enough BUT can you honestly say you enjoyed him ALL THE WAY? Even towards his latter years where Dave often laughed at his own jokes and Paul kept awkwardly interrupting Dave ?

Colbert used to SO MUCH BETTER on HBO. Now that he's on CBS he filters himself out a lot. Made me realize how powerful the network& the exec.producers of the show really are. Colbert on CBS is a watered down Colbert.

And regarding my username...girlsandboys was taken so

YOU LOST ME AT "I LiKe JimMy"!!

kidding. Yeah Williams is pretty terrible too, just downtight trash TV. She's the kind of host who sucks up Your energy somehow. At least she's on cable though and that's the scary zone where much worse things than her exist lol.

Wendy's on regular free TV where I live, twice a day. Other talk shows that are on more than once a day here is The Real and Steve Harvey's talk show. In the evenings, Steve can be seen for 3 hours straight on the same channel. First the talk show, then 2 hours of Family Feud. Steve also has a syndicated morning radio show that can be heard locally. The Real is basically The View or The Talk for younger audiences.

LOL on the user name.

Colbert was never on HBO. Were you thinking of "The Colbert Report" on Comedy Central? Keep in mind, that was just a character Colbert was playing. It wasn't real.

But sure, it's watered down on CBS. Much bigger audience, and different format. Howver, he kind of "unwatered" it when Trump became president and his true Trumpiness started showing itself. Colbert went after him hard - and still does - and the rise in his ratings are because of that.

Love The Roots, never watch the show (on 2 late, I'm old ), but I do like Busy Tonight, mainly cuz she's hot n always drunk n she does that lil jingle at the end . Andy Cohen's decent 2 when I'm up for it .

Yeah, Fallon's pretty bad. He's SO INCREDIBLY insincere, it's almost unbearable. And that fake ass laugh...

But he does have the coolest band in late night.

I don't mind him.

He's actually pretty funny.

Trevor Noah is the cutest though.

No, not by a long shot. He is tolerable at least compared to many others.

Worst ever? Not even close. Maybe you are too young to remember when Chevy Chase tried this shit.
