I don't watch TV. I'll take on the occasional Conan clip when it's uploaded, because I find him amusing and I used to watch him when I was a kid. I will watch episodes of Craig Ferguson on youtube. I practically never see Leno, no that it has anything to do with his reputation in post-conan-latenight years.
But Jimmy Fallon.... Where did this guy come from and when did he get on the air? I know I've seen clips of his show for at least the last couple years, but other than the few I've seen online I don't know anything about him. The more important thing is, to me, that there's something about this guy that I can not stand.
I have this sense of hate toward this guy I know nothing about, and don't know what causes it. I don't even like Hate! I hate Hate! Still, what's the deal?

I feel the same way about Letterman and Leno. I don't know why, but they drive me bat shit mad when I watch them.

Fallon is an acquired taste, much like Conan. Fallon is a solid interviewer, if safe and middle-of-the-road.

Yet, Fallon will come out of nowhere with a Doors Reading Rainbow skit or a Eddie Vedder - Jeremy (Lin) skit and just blow my mind with his talent. Plus, he has The Roots as his in house band which is always a pleasure.

Jimmy Fallon was originally from SNL, he never was in many skits that I recall, he just mainly did the Weekend Update with Tina Fey
