The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

[Peter Parker]

I don't know anyone from Thursday Show...
But Wednesday.. Artie Lang? Even Dfergie might watch that one.

You need to either get out more or stay in and watch more TV. Not sure which.

Tonight's bad pets part of the monologue nearly had me on the floor crying, as did Artie Langue's "parrot" joke. The show is solid. Still like Letterman better, though.

Shailene Woodley sure likes her some horseradish....

Well I know I'll be watching Thursday!

Looks like Jimmy Fallon is still drawing the name number of people as both Letterman and Kimmel combined. And Seth Myers is getting the same numbers as Kimmel! This means that a very large number of people are staying with the Tonight Show after the halfway point.

Complete disclosure, other than the absolutely terrible theme song and really bad first show, I have come to really like Seth Myer's style too.

I think NBC hit a home run!

It would be the first homerun that NBC has had since " Must See Tv Thursday" nights early back in the last decade.

Some eye candy on the 25th with that 2nd guest........

 

[cosmo_kramer]

I'll bet you meant the 27th....

 

[Derwin0]

The Tonight Show managed to do the best Footloose remake, far superior to the remake my daughter made me sit through.

It was a good production, I enjoyed it. I was flipping channels and saw Kevin Bacon on and rewound back to the intro to see it.

Billy Joel was great on the 20th. Really enjoyed that one too.

"Jimmy Fallon’s high ratings pushed David Letterman to retire, source says"
http://www.foxnews.com/entertainmen...man-retire-jimmy-fallons-high-ratings-source/

It's exactly what I thought when I first heard the Letterman chose to retire. Kimmel is starting to beat Letterman in the 18-49 age group, though not yet in the overall ratings, and Fallon is killing both Letterman and Kimmel in the ratings getting more than double the combined ratings of those two.

Ratings for the last full week in March:
Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (NBC): 4.306M total viewers, 1.33 rating in 18-49 demo
Late Show with David Letterman (CBS): 2.856M total viewers, 0.53 rating in 18-49 demo
Jimmy Kimmel Live! (ABC): 2.694M total viewers, 0.65 rating in 18-49 demo

I stayed with Fallon for a few weeks but switched back to Dave. And I have barely even looked at Seth's show.

 

[MikeD-C05]

Fallon is the new Johnny Carson with his tonight show. I see his ratings staying consistently high or even rising. Dave was smart to retire. It is way past time for the younger generation to take over the late night tv. Leno and Letterman's time was 20 years ago. Time for them both to move on.

I'm no Letterman fan but don't you think he has been thinking about retiring for a while??
A guy named Fallon forced him into retirement??? Please!
