I never cared for Jimmy Fallon on SNL...but I think hes the best Late Night host on TV.



It is Paul's second performance that makes this video though.

I don't get it either. Fallon is FANTASTIC, Seth is really average but clearly has potential. He still feels really rigid and awkward, like he's not quite ready for the big time, but I think once he starts getting comfortable he'll be solid.

But the Fallon hate? I mean what? I've never heard or met anyone that doesn't think Jimmy Fallon is one of the funniest dudes alive. He has been killing it every single night since he took over Tonight Show imo

i think its mainly bizarre because i look at seth meyers like a poor mans fallon.


two guys with really unique skill sets and snl is a crazy place to succeed and be funny which theyve both done. i think they do basically the same thing and fulfilled similar and the same roles at snl but fallon is way more comfy in front of the camera.

i dunno i dont get how ppl could dislike fallon but like seth

Love Fallon. And Seth tapping Fred Armison for his band leader is genius.

Maybe douche is too strong a word, he just leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth whenver I see him interviewed, like he's fake. For example I read that "Will Smith doesn't use profanity in his lyrics because his grandmother wrote to him 'intelligent people do not use these words to express themselves'". Then he swears in his movies... right.

It's probably his Scientology background that gives off that fake feeling for you. I understand and get that. It's similar to Tom Cruise.

Also he barely curses in his movies, they are usually PG-13 things.

Nobody has done weekend update right since Colin Quinn. Fallon and Fey were awful for reasons that I will state below...

Everyone I know thinks he's ass. He has the same problem as Tina Fey though Fey is far more gag worthy. They both try way to hard to look ironic when they tell jokes. It's as if they're saying, "Hey, look at how outrageous I'm being! Isn't that hilarious?" No it isn't. You're a douchebag. That comedy style basically made 30 Rock unwatchable.

I agree with everything you're saying here except that I liked Seth Meyers in the Weekend Update anchor chair (minus most of the "guests"). Although I like Amy Poehler in several things, I didn't like her doing WU for all the camera-winking.

I thought Seth was the best WU anchor since Dennis Miller, but more from the left instead of the right.

I hate and I do mean *hate* 30 Rock
