That's why I like him (Fallon). He's like a kid in a candy store or something. Part of him still doesn't believe he has the job or something. I also like to think while I watch him that he was on SNL...how clean could he be? At the very least they have to be stoned out of their minds writing some of his stuff...I like to think that anyways...
That's the best explanation I've heard so far, and I may even give him another chance. I just think he needs to settle into his new spot a bit.
Carson is actually an alright show. It took them a while to realize that his writer staff wasn't quite up to snuff (it was extremely hit or miss stuff), so he basically got rid of the monologue and focuses more now on the other things that he's better at, namely getting good musical guests. I think people misinterpret Carson a lot because of TRL, he's actually pretty cool.
I'm sorry, but I've seen his show, and haven't laughed once. The last one I watched, he had "rejected supervillains for batman" and they were like "the lawnmower" and "the border-hopper" and "the plumber". These each came with a crudely drawn and colored picture, and no surprises or twists. That was the part that did it in for me. (Now if they had something more subtle, like "the gardener, the poolboy, and the plumber" and they made the first two LOOK blatantly hispanic and the third look like an overweight italian with a red shirt, for example, it would have at least had some thought put into it, and a surprise at the end, with the viewer expecting another hispanic character only to get like a real life Mario or something along those lines.
In other words, I really don't like his writers at all. He may not even be the problem, but bad writing=bad show most of the time. Just my opinion.
Has anyone seen 'Taken'? My dad let me borrow his rented copy and I have to say Wow. This is a very clever action movie, and I'd go as far as to say it's better than Die Hard.
