Stump the King: Jimmy Fallon

PRINT| E-MAIL|MORE

Jimmy Fallon & Tina FeyNow that Jimmy Fallon has been officially announced to replace Conan O' Brien I have a lot of questions. Will the show still tape in New York? Will he have a sidekick? Who will be his band leader? Will he constantly laugh at himself like he used to on Saturday Night Live?

I have always found him to be a very funny guy but when Fallon sat in for Dave Letterman, I have to admit, I was not impressed. He seemed to constantly be fighting with the need to be personable with his guests while still trying to be his ultra-hip self.

Of course, I'm more than willing to give Fallon the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure we all remember Conan's first few seasons and how difficult they were to watch but now his show is more than deserving of the Emmys it has won.

So, I suppose the question isn't whether or not Fallon will be a decent host but how long it will take him to find his groove.

I'm also curious as to who his core audience will be. In the SNL days, he was clearly very popular with teenage girls and gay men. However, most of those girls have grown up now and the men have moved on Seth Myers, so who will be the loyal viewer of Late Night with Jimmy Fallon?

In any event I will be watching. at least, at first. Time will tell whether I continue or start recording Ferguson instead.

Now for today's trivia question...

Who won the Grammy for best comedy album the year Jimmy Fallon was nominated?

Congratulations Stephen F.
Robin Williams is the correct answer.
