The Morning After: Oh, You're Still On the Air?

I thought it was worse than night one. There was no chemistry between him and Tina Fey and at one point, when he was doing this bit about the chair that didn't make the cut for him to sit in during the show, I could have sworn there was this quick reflection of Fey's face and it was like "my god what happened to you" on it.

And the thing with the Bon Jovi fan should have been fun. It was painful, instead. I'm going back to Craig Ferguson now, and I'll check the guy out again in a couple of months. Hopefully it will have gotten better by then.

i thought Jimmy looked a lot more comfortable night 2 than night 1, I also thought it was good that he was able to make fun of that DeNiro interview. I enjoyed Jimmy reminiscing with JT and Tina Fey. I think one of Jimmy's strengths is that he has ties with so much of Hollywood already. He will not always be able to have his pals on but it will almost be hard to get a big name guest he has never met before.

There are some things that I think need to change:
-he needs to work on his monologue or get rid of it
-I think The Roots need to be more incorporated in the show all the time.
-He is trying to find his niche, I have seen him on many tech/geek related shows and he knows his stuff and is really funny and you can tell he is trying to use that with that Facebook segment IVOD. Next week one of the guys from Engadget is going to be on and soon after the Diggnation guys will be there. Hopefully those shows go well.

Reaper, clearly took a step back, but I think it was because they are trying to have an accessible pilot 2.0 or something. Ray Wise is still awesome enough that I shall watch the show weekly, cause one super interesting and well acted character is one more than most shows (looking at you, Dollhouse!).

Reaper amused the heck out of me. I realize Chuck is a better made show, but I just like Reaper more.
It could just be that I have far more nostalgia for the 90s Clerks-slacker era Reaper goes for than I do for the 80s Spies Like Us-espionage era Chuck goes for.

Fallon is one of those people who has arrived at his destination without having developed enough as content-driven performer. What if Eddie Murphy had been given a late night show? He would have been entertaining and diverse with his content selected. Someone with some real charisma. Jimmy Fallon is a nice guy, but not cut out for his own nationally televised show.
