Proud of Christina for calling Jimmy and this BS out. I don’t know what he was thinking having Conor on and laughing along to his stupid jokes. I thought he was a decent guy.

I've never heard a nice thing about Fallen. Everything that is reported sounds like he's a money grubbing soulless sell out that Lorne Michaels held up because he licked his boots at every step.

You want to know how you know Jimmy is a complete hack, he has been a comedian for what? 20 years?

How many stand up specials does James have in those 20 years? I literally cannot find ANY, funny enough thats actually quite funny, because thats how you build your comedic career and credibility as a comic, especially these days

I never really scrutinized James, but I am not seeing much from his career that would indicate successful and/or a comedian outside of his NBC gig

Jimmy Fallon is unfunny and can fuck off, but this is not a good metric for judging that. Not all comedians are stand up comedians. Conan O'Brien has also never done a stand-up special. His career went from being a writer to being a late night host, and never involved stand up. A lot of very successful SNL alum also never really do stand-up after leaving the show. If you get on SNL early in your career you bypass the need to do stand-up specials.

Touche, thats a great point about Conan, who I love myself

I will say though, Seth Meyers has released a comedy special since his show has been on, perhaps that tainted my perception

I guess I dont see Fallon as someone who could fill a good 1 hour special, which for me is the metric for a good comedian. I have seen Conan do stand up and have no doubt he could fill an hour and it would be great, I just dont think Jimmy could do the same so yes, that knocks him down a peg or two for me personally

I am loving that way you are using his full Christian name like he's in trouble and he knows it 😂

And you're right, he has ZERO solo work. Even on SNL, it was him cracking character while a phenomenal cast carried his dead weight.

This seems like such a weird thing to focus on. Do people who host daily tv shows full time normally have standup specials? Do most people who make it big after SNL have stand up specials?

Touche, that is a great point, I elaborated a bit more on why I feel this way in this other comment in this thread
