AP Baffled When Jimmy Fallon Tells "Joke"

dnice111 — Tue, 13 May 2008 10:14:07 EDT

I've heard a lot of rumors that he's still a serious cokehead, and once suckerpunched a guy in an afterhours bar in Manhattan.

How will middle America feel about their new late night sociopath?

Never mind the fact he ain't funny.

David Cross would be great, but he'd spend too much time calling the guests "fucking idiots" and making fun of them, which we might love, but network execs would not.

And for the life of me, this banner ad for Nikon I keep seeing is pissing me off: WHY is Ashton Kutcher doing Nikon commercials? Is he broke already? Is drug addiction leading him to do this? Is he saving up for a ring for some worthless tramp?

@Chaim Gnadelstein: Expect to see Sanz in the sidekick chair, stumbling through scripted conversation and giggling at the least funny lines.

eh, conan sucked balls when he started too.

and i'm sorry but what kind of douchebag reporter asks for clarification on a joke.

"my wife is so fat...."
"really, how fat is she? like clinically obese or just valerie bertinelli chubby?"

Hopefully this will provide him with the opportunity to destroy more of my favorite Nick Hornby novels onscreen.

I expect an AP followup story tomorrow exposing Jimmy Fallon as a liar after our intrepid reporter does a little research and discovers the shocking truth.

Ways that Jimmy Fallon can be funny:

-Punch fucks a dwarf.
-Dies in plastic surgery.
-Dies.

There really is a St. Mary's of the Snow in Saugerties, NY.

And there is also "snow" on David Bauder's desk, apparently.

Maybe they could get the talking unicorn to host instead. It'd probably bring in some of the stoned Adult Swim crowd. With Fallon you'd probably have to get stoned to get through that and then remember "holy shit that talking hamburger show is on, fuck this".

@NinaHagen: Yes, he was beat up for not being funny... NOT for the deflowering of "Extreme Makeover" Meg. (Who was hot. Yes, I thought she was hot in the cartoon. Whut?)

The only thing somewhat funny Fallon can sincerely put on his resume was his spontaneous, never-ending giggle fit he had during the now legendary "More Cowbell" skit. Yes, that's it.

Just get Carlos Mencia to take over Letterman's job, and ensure that both Jimmy Kimmel and Craig Ferguson keep theirs, and I'll be able to get a good night's sleep all week.
