The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon [US]

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 20-02-2014 4:58pm #1

Has anyone else been watching?
I've always liked Fallon - just seems like a genuinely sound lad.
Think his opening week has been great so far. I'm really enjoying it.
His dance bit with Will Smith on Monday night was brilliant.

did will smith half ass that on purpose? or did he not rehearse, the histoy of hip hop with JT was much sharper

can't stand fallon's fawning fan boi interviews

I hope what happened Jimmy Kimmel doesn't happen to Fallon. Kimmel's show got really tame once he moved to the earlier slot.

It's going to be broadcast nightly on CNBC from Monday - it was off during the Olympic period.

What channel is it on?

Great end to his first week with another History of Rap with Timberlake. Always great TV when Fallon and Timberlake are together.

Dman001 · 23-02-2014 7:38pm

Thought Fallon's Rap History with JT was very well done, really secures Timberlake's position of being one of the most down to earth and highly likeable celebrities.

RichFTW · 23-02-2014 8:09pm

Ya JT comes off as a very down to earth person alright. Think there is a group of celebrities like JT, Michael Buble and Beckham that just have a normal quality to them as opposed to the fake celebrity face that so many have.

As a united fan I've always loved Becks so enjoyed the egg roulette bit a while back!

JP Liz V1 · 24-02-2014 1:22am

Fallon is very likeable and funny plus love his history of rap with JT

that likeable quality that has him call out if he feels the raw or hard egg before he smashes it on his head, partly lessening the surprise and enjoyment of the bit

Da Shins Kelly · 25-02-2014 6:10am

I love the games of charades he plays with the guests. That's a lot of fun!

You can't put the egg back once it has been touched so saying anything has no impact on the game. Also in previous egg roulettes, Jimmy asks the guests what they think they have and guesses what he has himself before smashing the eggs.

I have the reminder just to see who's on, but i have seen some terrible interviews where he turns into fake Fallon with that fawning & he's competitive & sulks if he's not winning, as when i saw him first afaik when JLaw came on before the Hunger Games came out, it was bad!

CNBC - Channel 505 (up beside Skynews) 11pm weeknites,

Mon nite - JT, Tues nite - Reese Witherspoon,
i think they're a day behind US as i'd heard that 'The Boss' was on a while back & tuned in that nite to see if he was on, as Fallon was in full Bruce gear with bandana trying to sing about Chris Christie & the traffic jam & then Bruce came out himself in the same gear, it was very funny to watch, glad i saw it.

First Lip sync battle on the tonight show, too bad it was cut short.

And here are the first 2 lip sync battles

Jon Krazinski (Can't find video on youtube)
http://www.metatube.com/en/videos/183714/Late-Night-Lip-Sync-Off-with-John-Krasinski/

Steven Merchant & Joseph Gordon Levitt

expectationlost · 26-02-2014 7:18pm

bringing out his bes bits for his first few weeks, Jon Krazinski is by far the best

Aidric · 26-02-2014 9:04pm

I have a lot of time for Fallon and think he'll do very well with the new slot.

Paul Rudd lip syncing Tina Turner was gold.

lertsnim · 26-02-2014 9:28pm

The Tonight Show is much better with Fallon at the helm.

Wouldn't be hard to follow up Leno as he lost a lot of respect for the stunt himself and NBC pulled with Conan there a few years back. It had me avoiding Leno's broadcasts anyway.

lertsnim · 26-02-2014 9:59pm

That's true

Toto Wolfcastle · 28-02-2014 6:19pm

Is it edited for CNBC? I watched the one with Paul Rudd and the lip sync bit wasn't in it. The catchphrase bit with Reece Witherspoon was missing too from her episode.

King George VI · 04-03-2014 4:25am

I'm really liking the new Tonight Show. I think Johnny Carson would be proud. Always liked Jimmy Fallon on Late Night and knew he's fit in well at the 11:30 timeslot. Seth Meyers isn't doing too bad on Jimmy's old slot either. It seems NBC finally made a good call.

Ah-Watch · 02-04-2014 7:39pm

I really enjoy the videos on Youtube especially the ones with JT. The two come across really genuine and just two friends having the banter really. I didn't realise CNBC was on Sky (normally only go through the first 3-4 pages in the sky planner) I'll set the box to record it in future so. Delighted, other than that I have to watch it on Project Free TV... Really enjoy the show, just general chat and banter really

Jimmy's back on after an enforced break: he had to undergo micro surgery after nearly ripping his ring finger off in a fall, and is fortunate to still have it attached. His explanation is not for the squeamish:

The rumors are rife that his alcohol habit is out of control and he's a carcrash. Hope it's bollox as he's a very funny guy

I remember reading a showbiz column in a daily paper about a month ago, talking about Corden coming to sky, & now NBC's Fallon exclusively coming to E!
on Nov 15

What's the point in E! showing it?
it's already showing on MSNBC @11pm each night!

Exclusive, my arse:):rolleyes:

Nah, he's still on, but i don't know for how long?

I only tune in to see who he has on, i liked the eps' where he had The Boss & U2 were good, but i heard he got the nickname 'Fawning Fallon' he's ok, but i see that from time to time with guests, a little too much!

Btw: I often hear him saying he's Irish?
