I'm 27, Carson retired when I was like 6 or 7. Of course it doesn't take much YouTube research to see why he is so revered. He was that good, and far better than anyone now. But I'm not gonna act like I grew up with Carson

I can never be a fan of Fallon because I'm a fan of SNL. Fallon is literally the worst SNL cast member of all time. I would take Finesse Mitchell over him. He was boring and dumb and unfunny, but at least he didn't actively ruin every single sketch. I don't know why everyone loves Fallon now, once his YouTube parodies wear thin, what else does he have besides being a giggly little suck up? He's just not witty or funny.

You'll never hear a good off-the-cuff quip from Fallon, and that's the hallmark of a great host. That's what Carson was so good at.

Letterman is at the bottom because he's too bitter to be likeable. Yeah you got screwed, you're a "real" comedian and Leno is phony. Blah blah blah. Get the frick over it already.

Wow didn't realize there was so much hate for Fallon. I really don't see how you could hate him. He's one of the most like able guys.

I REALLY don't understand hating him because he laughed during SNL sketches. Who cares? I've never seen it ruin a sketch and it shouldn't be a big deal. It even makes it funnier sometimes. For example, recently when Timberlake was doing his Fallon impression during the family feud sketch, they were both losing it. That shite was hilarious.

I watched Fallon's first episode on Late Night, and I've watched most nights since and every episode is entertaining.

ETA:

Jimmy Fallon is too young to fill in for Jay goddamn Leno.

Leno was stale and boring. Also, Fallon is 39. How old do you want the late night host be?
