    Pretty funny stuff, Jimmy Fallon makes fun of Chase And Chandler around the 1:30 min mark.

    Ricky Rubio: "Werewolf Paul McCartney"

    Don't say the Rockets don't get any national exposure!

    No idea how people can think Fallon is funny. He is the most overrated 'comedian' ever. I'd rather listen to Dane Cook for 24 hours straight than sit through 1 hour of Jimmy Fallon's show.

    What i've noticed is most of his funny moments on the show are improvised, so for that reason i give him credit, since he's not reading a script during those moments. Their writers have a lot to do with how funny they are or arent.

    This skit is definitely one of his worst though.

    Terrible. At no point did I even come close to cracking a smile. I want my 3 1/2 minutes back. Fallon is awful.

    Sorry, but I honestly thought it was funny... the Rubio one was the best, but just seeing them put Budinger and Parsons on there cracked me up. "Just got voted off Project Runway"... Chandler's going to love that one :)

    Big mistake, Clutch. You've exposed yourself as a Jimmy Fallon watcher and lost all your street cred with the comedy elitists on clutchfans. :)

    I'm completely the opposite. I think Fallon right now has the best late night show on TV. He comes off as genuine and not manafactured, he has multiple talents, his impressions are absolutely incredible, and he's the most interactive host with his guests. (Beer Pong, Charades, Pictionary) I never though old fashioned games could actually be remotely interesing, but when you add a charsimatic gest and host it's like TV gold.

    I was not happy when Conan got the boot, but since he has I have completely switched from him to Fallon. (Cable is like the Twilight Zone for late night...) Only cable programming I will watch late is Jon Stewart.

    With Leno, and Letterman you know what you get almost 100% of the time. Kimmel ehh ya he gets NBA rights because he's on ABC so I watch... With Fallon it's uniue, caters to a much younger generation, and what really sets his show apart are his writers. They all participate in the skits, he's had years of experience on SNL so it just all works well IMO.

    I know I sound like a "fan boy" here but just my genuine reasoning on why I I watch his show consisntly as opposed to the others.

    Jimmy Fallon is a great late night host. People who think otherwise clearly don't watch him and are holding on to the old, bitter SNL stereotypes of him. Yeah, he used to intentionally laugh in skits to get laughs -- but he's a great late night host.

    That particular skit may not have been his best work, but I think Fallon is a good late night host. His show has gotten considerably better as he has gone. As a previous poster mentioned, Jimmy is at his best when he is improvising with a guest or with people in his audience, so he does more of that than he does stand-up and I think that makes for a good show.
