Watching Jimmy Fallon Is Cringe Worthy
Stop it, Jimmy.
You have to admit: you feel bad for Jimmy Fallon. How does a gawky, awkward man like Fallon hope to fill the Late Night shoes of another gawky, awkward man... who just happens to be funnier and more attractive in every way? The short answer is: he doesn't. He sits, blinking silently, and having convulsions when provoked into laughter by his much funnier guests.
Behold his interview with Justin Timberlake:
Justin apparently heard that the show instituted a BYOF (bring your own funny) policy, because he carries the interview with his own sense of humor most of the time. Fallon attempts to ape Conan in the beginning by doing the "awkward white man shuffle," but fails miserably. It only reminds us what we lost when Conan headed west.
Next up on this shameful display of late-night terror is Fallon's complete inability to interview Tina Fey. Both interviews remind me of that kid we all knew in elementary school. You know the one - he always was picked last for kickball and always vaguely smelled like cat? Remember when his mom guilted your mom into going over to his birthday party, and your mom told you that "No one else will be his friend, you have to do this?" It almost seems as if all the big name stars Fallon is pulling down as his show begins are you in that scenario: forced to go help out the kid who smells like cat.
Here's hoping his show improves, otherwise we insomniacs will be very, very unhappy. And you don't want to piss off an insomniac: we have too much time on our hands.
