Ferrell always seems to have smacked in the face by a 2x4 five seconds before going on-camera and is trying to decide if he’s evolved far enough above plankton to feel pain… \*\* Not to get into a debate about who is worse (Fallon is!) but I was just showing my lack of name recalling skills. I don’t think Farrell is a comedic genius but I feel he has more talent than Fallon. Even he is just 1/1000th more talented he is still more talented. It is kind of like assessing the dumbest kids in the class. **Marley** you have reached rock bottom with Kattan. ---

Oh how I loathe Jimmy Fallon. He rips off everything from Mike Myers. He does Irish hooligans rather than Scottish. He says “Nerd alert.” He does a Wayne’s world takeoff as a college webcam show. He doesn’t have an original bone in his body. Will Farrell rips off the “Have trouble controlling the volume of my voice” thing from Myers. ---

BTW, you can vote for Jimmy Fallon as the “Most Overrated Person Alive” on [ESPN.com](http://ESPN.com) [http://espn.go.com/page2/s/bracket/overrated.html](http://espn.go.com/page2/s/bracket/overrated.html) They are in the last round of his bracket (Actors) and Jimmy is up against Ashton Kutcher. The Final Four is going to be a doosey. Jimmy (if he advances) will face the winners of: American Idol FInalists Vs. Ja Rule Vince Carter Vs. Anna Kournikova Trista Rehn Vs. Pamela Anderson ---

So… let me get this straight… The “I love Terri Hatcher’s Boobs” thread is now the “I hate Ashton Kutcher almost as much as Jimmy Fallon” thread? Kule! 🆒 ---

Actually the progression was: Torii Hunter’s natural breasts to Terri Hatcher breasts to Jackie Chiles and Terri’s breasts to Will Ferrell’s bad acting to Jimmy Fallon worse acting to Chris Kattan being the lowest common demoninator in bad acting to Ashton Kutcher being one of the 8 most overrated people alive. What a tangled web we weave. And to think I am to blame for this whole mess. ---

Yeah, Hatcher in the raw was ‘unspectacular’. Still large, but not pleasant. As for Jimmy Fallon, I think the guy has tons of talent. But most of it is musical. Have you seen him do song parodies? He’s fantastic. He can mimic everyone from Eddie Vedder to Dave Matthews, and his song parodies are pretty good. He’s also a decent singer and guitar player. And I don’t mind a lot of his sketches on SNL, but some are derivative or lame.
