One week after Conan's departure from the 12:35a "Late Night" time slot a nervously cheery Jimmy Fallon steps in as the new host of "Late Night". Jimmy is in most peoples memory as "that guy" from SNL, and some no him as a no-luck movie actor, but with his new position as Mr. Late Night Jimmy might be able to follow in fellow SNL alum Conan O'Brien's shoes.I saw last nights premier of "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and I have to say it was all right. I mean it wasn't the best but it was solid. Conan is my favorite late night host out there but even I remember the days when he (and sometimes the audience) suffered threw a show. Fallon will fall into stride eventually as did his predecessors: Conan O'Brien and David Letterman.
All in all the first show was a good watch (for 12:35). Fallon is lucky, with his house-band "The Roots" earning him extra points and some high profile stars on the show Jimmy might just make it... I guess for now only time will tell.
You decide, watch the first episode of "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" Episode 001.
