Another way of saying, he's unprofessional. It's one thing to occasionally laugh at one's own performance, but he makes a habit of it. Sure he can be funny at times. But overall, he's hard for me to watch. He talks over his guests many times, or interrupts them and makes it about his experiences or himself. That's a horrible quality for a talk show host. Imho, of course.


Have you ever heard I guest complain about this, talking over them point you're trying to make? Please enlighten me if so.

Are you the guy that asks what's so funny when you're out with your buddies?

Of course they don't. They're plugging movies or tv shows. But you can see body language at times from some.

Don't take it personal. I was just giving my own opinion on why I don't think he's a good host. Different tastes make the world go round.

Having said that. Watch some full shows of Carson. And you'll see what a talk show host should aspire to be. It's all about the interview and bringing out from the guests, things you wouldn't normally see in the mundane interviews. If Fallon's best attribute as a late night talk show host, is getting guests to do skits, then he's failed as a talk show host, or the description of his show should fall under variety show, instead of talk show.
