I asked him last night.
He said he enjoys the show, thinks Jay's monologue is funny. He likes Fallon's skit work, but is unsure Fallon will do a monologue that measures up to Jay's. Like me, he finds too much of Letterman's monologue stale and repetitive. BTW I confess to watching Kimmel first these days and often catching Letterman when Kimmel and Letterman are in repeats. If I'm up, I watch (and like) Fallon. Letterman is a great comedian, which Kimmel is not, but Kimmel's material, in general, is better and fresher. I take back something I said in my previous post. I actually do hear quite a bit of Jay's monologue. Because bits are included in a piece I get every day called "Play of the Day" which is usually about a 3-5 minute compilation of government and politics-related jokes from all of the late nite comedians. It's the only time I ever see Conan, and while his material isn't great, it's the first time I've actually not minded watching him.

Was he really that big of a fan of Leno's? Or does moving Fallon to the earlier timeslot just disrupt his current viewing habits enough to be inconvenient?

But - I was talking with my concert buddy the other day. He's younger than I am, and I think he's pretty representative of most of those who watch late nite TV. He is one of the millions of people out there who are unhappy that Jay's going to be replaced by Fallon, just as they were unhappy when Jay was replaced by Conan. But I do think that Fallon has a better shot at success than Conan.

And remember Conan when he was a free agent was much more hotter than Big Jaw will be after February.

If Big Jaw has such a hankering to be back in late-night after September 2014, he can pray that Arsenio bombs out.
