When Jimmy Fallon’s show first started it wasn’t very good, he wasn’t comofrtable doing a monologue and he hadn’t found his voice, yet. But it has been almost two years now and I would say he hass grown into his how pretty well.

I am not a big fan of everything he does, there are many recurring things that I just fast forward through. But he does have his own quirky style and I think his monologue presetnation is much better now and funny, too. And the guy is a GREAT impressionist. Just a couple of night ago he did this amazing Neil Young impression, where he was joined Nash (or was it Stills) and Crosby.

I wouldn’t say it is must see TV for me, the way Letterman was in the 80s, but I think he is doing a-ok.

His monologue skills have improved approximately ten billion percent since he first went on the air. His interview skills have also improved.

I’m still not a big fan of the dumb games in every episode, nor the awful reality-show spoofs that he used to do once a week. But “pros and cons” and weekly hashtags and Thank You Notes are all great bits.

I don’t often get to stay up late enough to catch Jimmy now that I have that stupid employment thing going on, but I really like him. He’s just so enthusiastic! Beer pong with Betty White?? The Roots? All awesome. Agreed, though, that maybe the monologue isn’t is strongest bit.

I haven’t watched his show in full since about the first airing, but I have seen quite a few of his musical guests via Youtube, and he’s been consistently knocking that out of the ballpark. Doesn’t hurt that he often has the _motherfucking Roots_ backing up the guest. He’s taken Conan’s spot as “late night host with the best taste in music.”
