Late Night with Jimmy Fallon

To be honest, I totally forgot Conan was leaving to take over for The Tonight Show for Jay Leno in '09. So I tuned in a couple weeks ago and watched Conan and he mentioned there was 10 more episodes left. I sat there thinking what the hell is going on, and for a minute I sat in dismay and confusion thinking Conan was leaving television 'till I realized he was just moving up in the late night talk show world.

Then later on I found out Jimmy Fallon was replacing Conan..... WITH IN-HOUSE BAND THE ROOTS!!!! wow. so Jimmy Fallon has been referred to as a "huge ball of suck" breaking character and whatnot on SNL. BUT THE ROOTS, wow. What a strange match up, it's like the Fugees reunion on the Vans Warped tour.

I'm rooting for jimmy, don't get me wrong. I hope he does well so I have something to watch at night and that he does the roots good for their rep.

I didn't watch last night's episode on tv(scheduled on blackberry incorrectly) but I prox'd NBC's streaming site and watched the entire thing. gotta say he was nervous, but it wasn't bad at all for a talk show debut, Conan himself wasn't funny for the first 3 years(and faced being cancelled several times), best said by mr. t. the show is greatly musically oriented, the roots were done gooood, referring to "Slow Jammin' the News". no shame there. he rambles on for a bit during the interview with De Niro, but Justin Timberlake gave a hilarious interview! some skits are hit or miss, but all in all a good start with a nice line up for the first week. santigold(note: thats santigold now, with an "i", santogold with an "O" is no longer.) is on tonight so I gotta peep that after some HC studiage.

anyways check it out on NBC at 12:35 tonight, channel 12 for vancouver.
all that tv production really makes me reminice about shaw. not really.
