jimmy fallon

So last spring they announced that Jimmy Fallon is to replace Conan O'Brien in early next year (I think February or March? I'm not too concerned). Jimmy Fallon is one of the most annoying people I've ever watched. He laughs at his own jokes, he ruined virtually every scene he was ever in, and is (dare I say) a bit too animated. He always has and always will be the guy that could never stay in character or deliver a good line. However, he is still about to replace one of the funniest people today.

So Lorne Michaels I guess is trying out this new thing, where Jimmy Fallon holds a weekly webcast getting the public ready for what is going to be one of the worst late-night shows ever. I decided to give it a go, because I thought, well maybe he got a bit funnier. He is actually quite the opposite. While he still manages to "overuse" his hands while talking, he is not exactly trying to be funny. He basically just shows you what the studio looks like, and at the end introduces the audience to his future house band, The Roots.

What are they thinking? Really?
