I wish that Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night show was funnier.

It’s not that I think that he’s not funny. I just think that his humor is not really proving to be very fitting for the Late Night crowd. It worked for SNL, but it’s just not proving to be that fitting for Late Night.

I think that part of it has to do with the huge shoes that he has to fill. Conan O’Brien is a late night God. It’s hard for someone like Jimmy to stand up next to Conan. Jimmy’s “status updates” will never be as funny as the horny matinee. Period. Another part of it has to do with the obvious lack of confidence that Fallon has in his own humor. When everyone else laughs, he laughs. When crickets chirp, he looks like he wants to run off stage. It makes the audience feel very uncomfortable. He needs to drop some balls and gain some confidence in himself. Because he IS funny.

It sucks because I like Jimmy Fallon. I want him to do well. But at this rate? I give him a couple more months. 6 at most. Things are going to have to get better if he has any hope of staying on the air.

As Conan would say, “Be cool muh babies.” I’m not going to write him off yet. I just want him to stop being so nervous and BELIEVE that he is as funny as he really is.
