    That was my first thought when I read the headline. Fallon shouldn't be allowed to do anything, unfunny fuck.

    Conan is bad enough--but Fallon is literally unwatchable

    by chromedome

    but this won't affect me either way. If they had chosen someone GOOD to replace the already unwatchable Conan, then I might care.Doubtful they will increase viewership with this move, more likely will lose viewers.

    Soft launch= ZERO confidence

    by gnortsmra

    No matter what the NBC suits say, the reality is that they're probably doing the soft launch b/c they have zero confidence that people will take to Fallon. I'm equally skeptical about the Leno to Conan transition. I'm guessing we'll be seeing "The NBC Late Night Movie", right after an extended late news sometime after Feb sweeps.

  • So what? Are those watching the internet at 12:30 the same people watching NBC at the same time? No. What happens when he starts doing the show? Will it also be streamed live on the internet to accommodate those who have gotten "used to seeing Fallon every night at 12:30"?Will he be doing interviews on these webcasts? I wonder who the guests will be and how thrilled they will be to be on an beta internet talkshow. How's that career workin' for you?

    NBC: Going of Out Business Sale

    by snowpuff

    NBCUni laid off 500 people yesterday. Jeff Zucker and Ben Silverman have no clue how to program. They are letting Jay Leno - the source of $$$$$$$ revenue walk out the door.

    by chromedome

    and mugs for the camera incessantly. He is as simperingly greedy for attention as the ever-posing Martin Short.So, yes, he is unwatchable. Kimmel is far far better.Fallon will be far far worse......

    Spring Training

    by meshgearfoxx

    This is like Spring Training for talk show hosts. They know fallon ain't got a clue so they can use this time to get him semi-presentable before he comes on to TV. You see the time he filled in for Letterman? The guy was a horrendous interviewer and he's hopped on red bull or something cuz he's tappin a pencil every freakin second. The guy is terrible. NBC should have made an inspired choice not this hack.

    Conan was great during the strike

    by throwmetheidol

    But dull dull dull before and after. He should never have lost the beard, it made looking at him possible. Fallon will be passable but will never catch on as a major contender, I expect.
    I second the motion that someone watch it and report back.

    I think most people who say Conan is unwatchable are talking about Conan himself, not the show. His itchy spastic manner is painful to watch. He throws out ideas and stories on air like he's in a writers room, which is where he has always belonged. The show has survived because they have some funny writing and supporting characters like Smigel. Maybe some of that writing is due to Conan, but I can't help but think how enjoyable the show would be if the host was funny and likeable. Conan is gonna have to change his manner if he wants to hold the over 25 viewers at 11:30.
