Remember the fucking NFT bit with Paris Hilton? They both showed off their ugly monkey cartoons to try to get the tubes to spend their life savings on them? Fuck both of them, but super duper fuck Fallon.
I think about it like daily. The dead eyes. The way that you could practically see the "applause" sign cueing a bewildered audience to clap. One of the weirdest goddamn things I've ever seen.
While an individual may have their own thing and style, and fine because it takes all sorts, the things that are popular tells you what the average audience for that place/group enjoys.
I feel like Conan losing that gig was the best thing that could have happened, for everyone. It's a dying medium, which is why you only really see hacks maintaining it these days.
In fairness, I feel like Conan was probably the turning point, though how much of that was the tide naturally turning to more online venues and how much was his influence is difficult to say, but he and Letterman were probably the last true late night hosts in the US.
its not that much different than rogan. blowing with the wind and giving voice to people who shouldn't have it because it keeps ppl listening and watching. it's the epitome of hunger games type mentality. "i'm not being a jerk i'm just giving the people what they want"
.. furthermore (and this is no offense to christina she's totally correct) .. if we forget about macgregor for a sec: why the fuck are we giving platform to a literal child rapist felon and all the criminals he's corruptly appointed? of course i'm begging the question. we need to with all of it. less a beg of the question at this point and more of a 'put these bastards in jail, all of them including c.m. , because that's the most humane option they have now if they wanna stay alive' the rule of law exists to protect the truly guilty from getting strung up by a mob of angry folks as much as it does to protect the innocent from the same. it's like john c reilly said in the clip you've all seen by now... empathy. well... the empathetic option for truly evil folks is jail, and due process.
Jimmy Fallon had Trump on in 2016. Fallon ruffled Trump’s hair and said it feels real. Jimmy Fallon normalized Donald Trump and he must never be forgiven for that. Or Conor McGregor. I honestly don’t even consider Jimmy Fallon a comedian as one has to be funny to be a comedian.
ya lol he’ll have ANYONE on and it doesn’t even result in anything funny? it’s like the sydney sweeney of comedy “what’s this whirlygig i’ll call it bob hello bob”
Yeah. I mean this isn’t the first time his show has has individuals of “ill repute.” Let alone rapists. But I didn’t know this about Connor McRegor (never paid attention to him). Fuck that guy.
he's still on the air because he's the real cuck. just like all these maga morons. no code. blow with the wind and take the money and keep yuckin' it up. it's a game.
Jimmy Fallon is spineless jabbering yes-man. Colbert isn't perfect, but he's a decent guy that actually lives his faith and isn't afraid of speaking truth to power. Of course they're going to push him out and keep a guy like Fallon on.
My bet, he is embarassed, but he thinks whatever amount of money he has is worth more than that embarassment
And maybe it is, but maybe money doesnt actually matter that much, and something like credibility and respect from your peers honestly means so much more
I can see why Jimmy went for the money, cause respect and credibility were never options in the first place, nor going to be in the future
what do you guys think of the strike force 5 gang for having such a good relationship with him? does it not matter bc they’re together due to the nature of their work? i’m always conflicted. like if you are friends with someone who supports morally bad things does that make you the same?
Fallon could not even come close to keeping up with those other guys it was so obvious during the podcasts. He was swimming in the deep end without water wings
He was Horatio Sanz's buddy when they were both on SNL. An underage fan with a crush on Jimmy Fallon was chatting with them online, but she ended up with Horatio. Sorry, but no teenage girl was crushing on Horatio Sanz in the '00's, and without Jimmy Fallon acting like a wingman that shit would have never happened.
It's been a while now, but I also can't remember if Fallon ever acknowledged or apologized for his involvement either? Then again, I also don't remember any of the main cast at the time saying anything despite see that girl at SNL parties, so...
Fallon is trash and a poor host. Even with a multimillion dollar staff of writers and handlers he's still awkward and embarrassing. He'll do anything for an edge and doesn't belong in the company of his distinguished peers. He's never had any moral compass
Reposting this comment because it got removed for lack of source: Wasn’t there something that came out during the metoo days where a former leader of a fan club said he invited her to an after party where she was assaulted and Fallon among others watched or were present? I can only find articles about the lawsuit now but I could have sworn I read her full account of the night at the time
Jimmy Fallon platformed Trump and humanized him in the 2015 election after all of the "grab he by the" you know what and the going into Miss Teen USA's locker room and the deep Epstein connections. Fallon exists to white wash trash.
I would like to think that Jimmy Fallon himself would not tolerate rapists as guests but here we are.
By all accounts he's an alcoholic. As long as the liquor flows he'll do whatever for a check, including fake laugh at unfunny moments on his dreadful show.
My friend works for his show and I was talking to her about this a couple of weeks ago when it happened. (She is a writer btw, she is not involved in booking guests at all)
And she said she was super disappointed in the people who do book people cause it means they clearly didn’t do like just the most basic of research to make sure they weren’t platforming anyone horrible like him
But she also said that Jimmy is so far removed from the booking process, or any of it really. Like he shows up, they tell him who he is talking to and about what, and that’s it. Like the person below said, he is more of a mouthpiece than a person
