but he is just really bad.

Its still early but Im not sure it will change.

Not a fan of Feguson either........didnt realize Id miss Conan this much.

RobFunk · Apr 3, 2009

Fallon is great! 1st show, rocky start. But every time I watch he's been money.

TheWolf · Apr 3, 2009

Respectfully disagree Rob.

Audience looks quiet & bored at times too.

Rambo · Apr 3, 2009

Yea the first show sucked but i seem to like it more and more when i watch.

eoghater · Apr 3, 2009

I remember I watched it a week ago and the audience was literally laughing at him and he was getting pissed. Hell, Carson Daly's crowd doesn't do it to him and he is the biggest asshole there is. But, I don't watch him at all so maybe they do tell him that he's a 1:30 am loser.

Craig Ferguson is a comedy god, a natural.
90 percent of his monologue is ad libbed, off the cuff.
I can understand if you don't like his style, but IMO Ferguson is extremely underrated, and will more than likely succeed Letterman, who is a living legend.

Fergusons monologues are some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen on late night tv. I used to watch conan but got hooked on ferguson my favorite now of all the late night talk shows.

Fallon always looks uncomfortable. His standup is only like 3 minutes too. He's just not a standup comedian. Not an interviewer either. He did some good stuff on SNL though, that was his cup of tea. This just isn't.

I tried hard to like him also. That job shows your weaknesses in dealing with people. Ferguson, Jay, Dave, and Conan are true masters. They were not good overnight. Sometimes these networks shut it down for bad ratings without giving the host time to develop a niche.

I think Conan is the closest to Carson. Hope he does well on the West Coast.

GoSooners · Apr 3, 2009

Craig Ferguson is by far the best late night host. Kimmel, Leno, Conan, Fallon don't even come close. I would rate Lettermen second. Mainly because he is a great interviewer. I've watched Fallon a few times..He's not going to make it.

billhill999 · Apr 3, 2009

Drew Carey (another comedy god) discovered Ferguson.
Ferguson says he is forever in Carey's debt, he gave him a gig when he was pennyless.

3peet · Apr 3, 2009

c'mon now Jimmy Fallon? He was garbage @ SNL. Can't expect anything more with a solo gig.

RaoulDuke · Apr 3, 2009

Ferguson is my favorite I just wish he would get bigger stars on his show for interviews.

Fallon give me a break guy did a movie with queen latifah.

amazing how so many people differ in their opinion of this guy.

i think he is awful. all he ever does is play the " creepy guy " card..

and if i hear him say " we've got so much to talk about " when every guest sits down , ever again , i'm gonna puke.

letterman is the closest to carson.. no one comes up with 1 liners quicker than dave .

haha. Youre a pretty tough critic. But Conan does say that a lot.

WorldNumberOne · Apr 3, 2009

my personal late night rankings :

letterman ( by a mile )
kimmel
leno
conan
fergusson
fallon ( when he runs out of snl buddies as guests , he'll be a lost cause )

i mean come on , " lick it for 10 " they had months to plan this show and that is what the writers came up with ... weak...

TheFalls · Apr 3, 2009

I can't believe all of the fergusson love. i tried that one out when it was first coming out and it was freakin brutal.

-like the brutal where you feel sorry for him for trying to be funny brutal.
-and then i see his f'n retarded bits mixed in the ncaa tourney commercials, and that just reaffirms how not funny he has to be.

conan and kimmel are funny imo. fallon has always been above avg i guess; haven't seen the show and don't care though, but it sucks for someone who sucks.

Ferguson is talented & funny. I just cant get past his accent & lack of big name guests.

When i saw that, i knew the shit was headin downhill.

hno:. Loved when they were rooting for Chattanooga against UCONN the night before they played. Every audience member had Chattanooga's colors.. looked pretty dumb after getting their asses blown out.
