Although I have linked this post to one of the latest reviews of Jimmy Fallon's new show, this post is just some of my own rambling thoughts. I'm not a regular viewer of any late night talk show (because, well they are late night talk shows). I have read a lot of the bad reviews of "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" last week, and some good ones this week. Since the first show, there have been hundreds of reviews. It looks like they are starting to ease up and give him a chance.
When I heard the Pussycat Dolls would be on last night, I decided to check out his show. I was surprised that I liked the show so much! It was disappointing; however, to see him lose control with the timing. That led to not enough time to show the Pussycat Dolls full performance of "Jai Ho" at the end. Fallon didn't apologize or say anything about the screw up. I think he should ask them back, and put them on earlier in the show!
Fallon wasted a lot of time. He had some lame jokes--especially the ones about Chris Brown and Rhianna. There is nothing funny about their situation. I was glad to see some audience participation, but the Wheel of Carpet game show was just plain dumb. When his guest Emily Blunt was on, he couldn't take his eyes off her boobs...even though they weren't big or hanging out. She did look hot though! He wasted too much time with her. And he got her a hot pretzel--WooHoo! And when two pretzels were brought out, he wouldn't even touch his and had her give it to an audience member--more wasted time. Fallon seemed awkwardly uncomfortable with his other guest Michael Stipe. He didn't even thank him for the gift Michael personally made and gave to him! Jimmy was just a bundle of nerves all night, but I think he will get better as he settles in to his new role of talk show host.
Apple must be paying him a nice chunk of money, since he has an Apple notebook on his desk. But for what? He never touched it. Of course, the game show prizes were Apple store gift certificates. And did her really have to whip out his iphone? That reminded me of the movie "Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion," where one of the girls pulled her giant cell phone out of her purse to try and impress her former classmates! "If anyone needs to make a call, I have a phone!"
Wow, it almost seems like I didn't like the show LOL! I will give it a chance though...hope it does well.
