Amazing. He doesn't have an agent or a manager.

I feel the same way. But I thought he was very gracious on his interview on 60 minutes. And I do love Jimmy Fallon. Face it, scottie. We're getting old! Time to move over and let the next generation have a go at it......

NBC has the chance to get Jimmy Fallon; they would be crazy to miss out on that. I don't watch Jay Leno, nothing against him, he's just not that amusing to me.

DH and I met him one Saturday night several years ago at a local diner hangout for vintage car owners. He's been a regular there for years. Unpretentious. ""One of the guys"". And he gets treated that way there. I was quite impressed with him.

I know but his ratings are still through the roof. NBC already tried that route once with Conan. You'd think they'd learn their lesson.

I have no idea what this is about, but I cannot stand him. I don't really watch any show in that time slot, but he would be the last person I'd watch.

You can't compare Conan the Creep to Jimmy Fallon. Loved Jimmy with Justin Timberlake

True, but it's not the demographic group they want. That's what I've read anyway.

I'll miss his Monday night "Headlines"!!!

Conan the Creep? What's that about?

I'm not a huge Fallon fan. Guess we'll just have to see how he does.

It wasn't nice but that's how I feel about that Conan. He's so distasteful.

Whenever I watch late night tv, Jay Leno is my go-to show. Always liked him. Fallon is just OK in my opinion, so I'll miss Jay. I'm thinking some other network will grab him up and we'll be seeing him again.

I like Fallon in stand up, love his impersonations and he's great in skits but I don't care for him behind the late night desk.

I like Jimmy Fallon. Watched him for year(s) on SNL. And I like Jay Leno. The one I do not like, David Letterman. I bet his ratings suffer a bit when Fallon comes on the scene in February.

LOL! Oh. Okay. I just thought maybe I missed out on some news story or something. I'm not a big fan of his either. I don't get most of his humor.

I agree with Kaybee in her #14

I just don't get the appeal of Conan. But my son does. Go figure.

So funny how people have such different tastes. I can't imagine anyone, of any age, enjoying Jay Leno.

Compared to the natural, unscripted humor of Johnny Carson Leno doesn't even begin to come close. All he can do is read jokes from a cue card. Study Carson's unscripted interactions with his guests. Leno can't even compare with the obvious enjoyment and delight Carson took in his guests. Even worse than Leno is Letterman whose humor is often cruel.

Carson was the master for sure....
