I remember watching Conan's horrible first show and this was worse. Conan had almost no on-air experience so his flop sweat on camera was expected. After years on SNL, Fallon shouldn't have such a deer in headlights look. The band is not 100% to my taste, but I recognize that they are good, much

I thought of Letterman when I was watching that bit the first time, but I realized that, if he did anything like that, it would have been one of his regular guys for walk-on bits instead of actual audience members. And probably looked far worse than a shiny, new lawnmower/printer/fishbowl.

That's even sadder. And the third thing (whatever it was -- I can't remember) wasn't even a mockup of a product. I was thinking they'd only gotten two product placements but had to have three things for the bit. I'd read that they were going to encourage product placement, live ads, etc. so

All the talk show hosts talk about what happens when they run out of ideas. Johnny Carson used to play Stump the Band. Letterman throws things off of rooftops. O'Brien spins his wedding band on the desk. Ferguson has puppets. The prepared material on Fallon's first episode was the sort of hastily
