Late Night with Jimmy Fallon – Week Four/What For?

Before I dive in, two quick notes to the editors of Jimmy’s video blogs:

1. The FCC doesn’t presently regulate internet content, and your show is slated to be on at 12:35 in the morning anyway. What I am trying to say is this: Don’t censor the swear words.
2. If you are going to censor the swear words, as you did during Jimmy’s foul-mouthed tirade in “The Water Mug Challenge,” don’t forget to censor “fucking” which appears near the end of the installment as Jimmy is getting up to leave.

Also included in this week’s internet content:

• Jimmy likes to compare himself to Gallagher
• Jimmy has an office… and he thinks I’d find that interesting… were I a would-be sniper, I might be interested in learning his is the corner office on the 7th floor overlooking Radio City Music Hall
• Jimmy’s new year’s resolution was not to become a funny person… obviously
• Jimmy can be unfunny in front of thousands of drunk college kids in Florida
• Jimmy makes fun of Dick Cavett.. we’ll see whose talk show endures longer

Since I have yet to see a tangible display of talent, allow me to comment instead on Fallon’s style (no, not his wardrobe choices, which I covered last week). Because I always try to be positive when I can, I suppose I should praise Jimmy Fallon on at least being comfortable on camera. He may not be funny or talented, but at least he doesn’t seem nervous about it. Then there’s his voice. It is soothing and gentle, the way a laxative ought to be. And that’s what NBC may want for the late evening hours… someone who can help viewers crap out what they ingested during their prime time lineup.

brought to you by Apple... because Commodore went out of business years ago

Last but not least, I want to give the future “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon” show credit for going with Apple computers. Behind the scenes footage of the offices of Jimmy, his many writers, and the production staff have shown nothing but Macs. So, either Apple has thrown the show some serious product placement money, or somebody on the production team has their wits about them.

Who says I can’t be positive?

Next week, I plan to stir the pot a bit. Stay tuned to see if anything boils over. As we all know, a watched pot never boils, which makes it all the more likely Jimmy Fallon will. After all, nobody’s watching him.
