TV: Jimmy Fallon Impresses Me


My loyalty to Craig Ferguson is unceasing. But based on this clip from last night’s Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, it’s a good thing that with my Tivo dial tuner I can record both Craig and Jimmy. Pop culturally, the NY Times Dave Itzkoff is dead right when he describes last night’s full-scale production (My idol Letterman never pulled off anything of this scale in his prime) as the Finnegan’s Wake of TV Parodies.

My one concern is–how long can Fallon put this much effort into one hour before he burns out or has to scale back? I hope I’m wrong and he maintains this quality, because if he does he may have the formula for late night success.
