Some Thoughts on Jimmy Fallon 

My favorite one 😌

JK’s time on the man show has always annoyed me and makes me take a lot of his schitck with a grain of salt. However, now that I am an adult and re-watched a few early eps of the man show, I realized that I was too young during the original airing to realize that the Man Show was basically doing what the Colbert Report would do years later to conservatives. Gross toxic assholes who thought they were being “seen” by the Man Show didn’t get that the show was designed to mock them, just how conservatives wholly bought that Stephen Colbert was the conservative response to Jon Stewart. However the joke was too ahead of its time, and sadly TMS did become the gross misogynistic show many believed it to be, but by that point JK had bounced, only for Joe Rogan to take his place. I just wish JK actually acknowledged his time on TMS to set the record straight because the more the pretends it didnt happen, the more it comes off imo that his current liberal/male feminist behavior is performative. And look, I am all for people acknowledging crappy things they did in the past, I am all for ppl growing, but it’s just annoying to be that JK tries for sincerity while ignoring an elephant in the room

@@martidodger7106 Holy crap I forgot that Joe Rogan took over... thanks so much for the reply, I feel like I need to do a video essay about this now or something

I genuinely thought The Man Show was a fever dream that only I remembered.

I think fans of the show didn’t understand it was a parody. I think that’s why he quit it when he saw it attracted misogynists 😅

I saw it maybe twice. Hated it. No idea it was a parody (and I teach Lit). So if no one knows its a parody then it aint a parody, its just meanness. Took me years to watch Kimmel bc of it. When he did the monologue about his son Billy born w a heart defect, then I started to like him.

It wasn’t about grooming. It was about Horacio raping an underage girl. They were not in a relationship. He assaulted her. I heard about it and was shocked and grossed out. It then quickly disappeared as if someone paid to keep it hushed as possible.

Almost always pedophillia when a famous person breaks the law, isn't it? But since it's SNL, it's for a given value of famous, of course.

Yea it sucks Jimmy got a pass on that and seems to still be getting a pass...

Yup. Freaking love Conan. There’s an air of authenticity that not many others have been able to hit upon. Although I do enjoy Colbert, John Stewart and Seth Meyers. Conan just feels like grown up comedy compared to the Jimmy’s surface level feel. (To put it crudely)

Conan paid some of his employees out of his own pocket when he was between networks or something like that. I can't remember when it was exactly, but he is an absolute guy and I adore him.

Team COCO forever. I have known many who work in the late night industry and never heard bad things. I absolutely know countless stories about Fallon though from awful to criminal.

And I second Jordan Slansky. I think he’s a fellow autistic person 😊

@@ArgyleDinosaurI mean, he can afford it. I used to like Bill Maher, but he’s become more conservative with age which most old rich white men do.

You forget Megyn Kelly is a conservative commentator. It's their job to be cruel and insensitive.

Never thought about it like that but you’re so right

Yes!!! People don’t seem to understand that things like psychosis can make you do and say things you would never ever say otherwise. It’s not “revealing who they actually are, and their real beliefs”. If you have that little empathy you better count yourself lucky you’re not the one experiencing those mental states, and that if you ever do, because you can’t choose wether or not it happens to you, that there people who are going to be more empathetic toward you than you’ve been to others.

Speaking of which, my mother and I had watched a few episodes of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon some years back and one of the observations she made was that he seems to not be able to get through his show without drinking alcoholic beverages. I think she was spot on. 😔

Lotta stories about him in bars. Not sure how his wife handles the sitch. 2 little girls. Alcohol is a bad drug. I was 34 when I quit drinking a fifth and a pint of vodka every dayyyy. 32 years ago now. I recommend weed instead. Quitting is hard af. But if I could do it, anyone can do it. One day at a time, JF.

I think it's a self report tbh, they themselves may get kicks out of being horrible to staff

​@gmc5618 It ALWAYS is. If you (general you) have to constantly make everyone aware of how "unbothered" you are, and how it's the "liberal cuckold snowflakes getting triggered all the time" that are the "real problem with society"... then the call is most likely coming from inside the house!

​@gmc5618 I literally see this shit all the time at my place of work! Conservatives wearing shirts and baseball caps (or snapbacks) loudly proclaiming that they love God, Guns, and Freedom as much as they hate everyone who's not like them as well as "Cancel Culture" (Accountability Culture, but they don't like that term because they can't victimize themselves) and "Safe Spaces" - and I just have to laugh and roll my eyes because it's the equivalent of knowing an average white dude with an oversized lifted truck with chrome spoilers Frankensteined to the vehicle with an American Flag and a "Tr*mp 2020/2024 MAGA" flag waving out the back as he drives down the street is overcompensating for his fragile masculinity and tiny penis. Only with those lunatics in the shirts and hats, they're more likely overcompensating for their own insecurities. It's pretty sad and pathetic because these people who don't believe in mental health or therapy are the ones who need it most. Of course they're not going to willingly seek treatment out of stubborness and/or ignorance.

the employees are the babies for disliking when their boss throws temper tantrums like a toddler

I remember when joan rivers came on UK TV (onto basically a UK version of The View) and she didnt realise UK live TV doesnt run with a delay, so they cant beep out any swearwords or comments. She was shouting about C*nts on daytime TV. It was comedy gold. But some miserable sod decided she couldnt come back on after the adverts because of it

An online friend was at a party with John Oliver. He was incredibly fun, she said. It was nice/weird because in the pictures he was so relaxed and laughing, no suit or tie. He looked younger, he needed a haircut. I’m glad he got to unwind between facing politics.

I had a friend see Rachael Ray who said the same thing. Couldn't care less about the audience. Was super friendly when the camera was on, totally ignored them when it was off. I wonder what working with her is like!

Why wasn't he there to be cute? Oh that's right, he's wholly unlikeable and a pos. No one wsnts that.

jackal pride!!

A true patriot, RIDE ON SOLDIER 🇺🇲💪💪🦅

I went to a live taping and he came across very nice

😂😂My 89 year old mom takes a nap in early evening so she can stay awake to watch Colbert. Yes, she could watch it on demand, if she would let someone show her how, but she refuses.

that was an insane meandering aside on a comment where what i really wanted to say was: GIVE CONAN JIMMY'S SPOT YOU FUCKS

Who who who

@@CaseyFoxiBoy the mcelroy brothers

Aww I will not stand for this Travis hate

@@RogueAstro85 look if he chilled out and went back to being the middlest brother, the guy who slips in the funniest joke all episode while justin and griffin fight over who they think is funnier, he'd still be my favorite, by a country mile. "the piano mandate" is still the funniest joke in the first 500 episodes of mbmbam and neither of those boys even noticed it.

its almost like humanity created a lot of unnatural systems that are completely unnecessary and serve a hegemony. we're really meant to be frolicking through nature picking berries and shit for real

You made look closer and wow, this guy must really love pigeons

such a disappointment!!

Those are my top two as well. I love that Seth highlighted his writers often and gave them the credit.

I wish I could speak as well as her ••• She's very sharp 😊😊

Sadly HR is more about protecting the company than the employees.

Honestly, the Roots are often more funny than he is. I’ve always been a Conan person. He never fails to make me laugh and I grew up watching him. I also grew up watching Colbert on Strangers with Candy, but I think Amy Sedaris should have received that seat although she probably wouldn’t want to. But Colbert is openly Catholic which I don’t understand since Catholicism is anti-women and anti-gay. It makes no sense that he would support it (a cult that covers up child molestation). I’m surprised Colbert isn’t canceled for that alone.

It’s been happening with a lot of talk show hosts.

Lol I just commented the same thing before seeing your comment. I miss that man so much.

Hell yes.
