Did The Roots Steal Jimmy Fallon’s Thunder?

Slow Jammin’ the News was the best part of last night’s Late Night episode, with Justin Timberlake’s John Mayer impression/Bud Light song a close second. They had a Lick It for 10 bit which wasn’t funny at all. There was also the Demographic Target segment about blond mothers which came out flat. Robert Deniro looked like he was ready to strangle Jimmy at some point. In Fallon’s defense, though, this whole TV thing takes time to get used to. After all, he’s only been doing it for 17 years.

The phrase ‘in his defense’ should never be applied to the alleged comedy of Fallon. Jimmy is as funny as a cataract and it boggles gray matter that this infantile quarter-wit hogs the airwaves.

Eh…they just started. They’ll try things. Things will succeed..things will fail. Conan was constantly almost being canceled his first few years. And he did okay.
