Jimmy is pretty funny on his show - what I have realized is that his show is not often very funny. He needs to lose the family members if he wants to step it up a level. BTW - I was up late last night and after the recorded show I was watching was over and went to live tv and it was tuned to NBC (I am not sure why). Fallon was just starting his monologue, so I decided to check in. Wow - that was the most painful monologue I have ever seen delivered by a host on any tv show anywhere. I am used to a joke or two bombing, and any host worth his salt can usually squeeze at least a few laughs out of the bombing (maybe not the full-Johnny, but at least something). But last night Fallon was a complete zero. I stayed for I think 4 jokes, and dude was literally oh-for-four, each silence getting more deafening and more uncomfortable. I don't like the guy, and even I felt sorry for him. I tuned out after that - maybe it was a bit making fun of unfunny monologues and I missed the payoff - I hope it was something like that, because even a rabid dog deserves more than that. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
