I would like to take a moment to pose a complaint about Jimmy Fallon on his television program, and then totally refute myself.
Have you seen Late Night with Jimmy Fallon? He sucks at interviewing! He doesn't even let his guests talk. He just jokes around.
YES BUT
Have you ever seen a guest on a late night talk show? They are all vapid actors (save for Brian Williams, Al Roker, Will Ferrel, and Harrison Ford). They suck! Who wants to hear about the cute thing their baby did? Nobody, that's who.
So when Jimmy Fallon takes over the interview--even if he is only mostly funny--and gets the three mentions of the movie or TV show in, I say good work. That is moving things forward in the late night talk show realm.

I still maintain that I could do without his five-minute fanboy freakout sessions at the beginning of the show when someone he likes is there. I think he (badly) reenacted about half of Cheech and Chong's bits when they were on.
