Nice. That's better, but lose the "will."

Something about the wording leaves me on the fence... how about:

Will Jimmy Fallon be a good replacement for Conan O'Brien on "Late Night"?

Nice work JZipp. Marinaz must have stolen this from you. Huh?

The Watcher:

Is a work ethic enough? I don't have much of an impression of Fallon; he seems a callow and not particularly memorable performer. And he's not even (by far) the most memorable "Weekend Update" host that "SNL" ever produced.

I was planning on proposing this myself... so... GREAT ISSUE.

It's now official and lots of people are weighing in or have weighed in.

Gawker

Is NBC stupid enough to give Jimmy Fallon "Late Night"?

Oh, shit, we forgot: two whole seasons of "Joey." Yup. We're so screwed.

MSNBC

Fallon's fellow “SNL” alum and current NBC star Tina Fey also gave the idea a thumbs up.

“I think it's a great idea. He's really funny and loves to talk to people; it must be that Irish charm. Hosting a talk show is so hard, having to do the comedy and the interview skills, but I actually think he’s really well suited for it,” Fey told B&C.

Gothamist

Sure, you probably hate Jimmy Fallon, but let's consider the alternative for a minute. The Times goes on to say that Mr. TRL himself is also asking to be considered. Carson Daly...Jimmy Fallon...Carson Daly...Jimmy Fallon. We'll take Jimmy any day.

awesome issue

 

The Big Lead: Jimmy Fallon’s getting a late night show … starting in 11 months. Is it just us, or is he not that funny?
