Being a huge late night talk show fan (I watch Letterman, Leno, Conan, Kimmel, and Fallon every night), Jimmy Fallon is my new favorite host... I love the audience interaction and the well thought out sketches (especially 7th floor west), it just seems like it is something completely new to late night.... kind of like a mix of SNL and late night.

I admit, I liked him on SNL. Love him and Timberlake on TBGTS. Thought he and Fey were the best WU Anchors since Norm was fired for telling the truth about OJ Simpson (Don Olmeyer, you bastardo!). I even liked the movie "Fever Pitch."
So I gave him a chance. And yes, while his interviewing method is still to close to Chris Farley's SNL skit of the nervous interviewer: "Patrick Swayze, remember that time you were in that movie where you killed the Russians and yelled Wolverines? That was cool," the rest of his show is pretty awesome.
Loved 7th Floor West. Ooh, hate that Miles and Jenny! Real Housewives of Late Night is a riot. Loved his attempt to get the Saved By the Bell gang back together, complete with Mark Paul Gosselaar coming out in rolled, acid-washed jeans, and Zack Morris hair. Love the 3-point shoot-out with random objects. The Roots make what used to be the best late night band, The Max Weinberg Seven, look like a bunch of lame ass wanabees (though they're still awesome!).
But the best so far was his Yacht Rock show, dedicated to all things Yacht Rock. I have the six minute performance of "Ride Like the Wind," saved on my DVR. And how cool was it when Michael McDonald came out on stage? Half the audience didn't know it was him until he sang.
To paraphrase yet another famous Yacht Rock song: Jimmy is just alright with me. Jimmy is just alright. Oh yeah.
I think Jimmy is doing an amazing job and I find his show more entertaining than the rest of the late night shows. I am having a hard time finding others who are willing to give him a chance pretty much everyone I know refuses to even watch.
