Jimmy Fallon Is Waiting In The Wings
There are now existing commentary on the Internet where bloggers express their support for Jimmy Fallon who currently hosts the 12:30 NBC hour. Jimmy, the former SNL cast member and really nice person is in a back and forth dogfight with Craig Ferguson, a somewhat odd and quirky Scottish host who, I think Jimmy can surpass. Ferguson has niche like presentation and ultimately I do not think he will have enough mass appeal to at anytime move down an hour. Jimmy is going to have a problem hypothetically taking Jay's seat if some of the classic host's present weaknesses prevail. I do not believe that Jimmy Fallon has many viewers over 40. This demographic group if in fact is ratcheted up to 60 is of vital importance to the networks. This is a set that are homeowners, earn more and have a greater sum of disposable income. These are the men and woman who because of the youth oriented content of Fallon's show that includes licking windows, video games, silly skits and impersonations will either watch something else or turn the dial. Jimmy himself tries to portray the image of a 25 year old may be not realizing that young people who are serious do not stay up past midnight. What we really need on Late Night talk are more interesting and thought wrenching guests a la Dick Cavett or even Johnny would bring on to tweek our intellects. I love to look at well put together woman strut out but not if she is a knucklehead and I have to watch her talk a big zero for 15 minutes. Every one of these talk shows has one every night. I'd rather listen to Martha Stewart or business woman Cindy Crawford who of course was also a supermodel. There are also some brilliant individuals in all vocations within show business. meanwhile Jimmy shows us apps on his mobile phone.
