14. Jimmy Fallon is a ham with a lousy monologue too

Fri May 8, 2026, 11:10 AM

I do not watch jimmy Fallon any longer, and I had such high hopes when he replaced Conan obrien years ago.
I don't care any longer to suffer thru Fallon's awful monologues where I rarely hear a single joke worthy of even getting a guffaw.
And he hams it up beginning to end, as well on the other shows he guest stars on.
And the stupid rhyming name game he plays with notable names.
Give me jimmy kimmel, seth Meyers, and Stephen Colbert (at least for a couple more weeks). They have clunkers as well now and then, but it is generally enjoyable to watch them.

And does Roots know any other songs than 'Hey Hey Hey', and 'Get Involved'?
