Why limit to just one segment when he does it in almost EVERY segment? That said, I haven't watched a lot of Late Night since Fallon took over (I think I'm on the record as being an member of the Robot Skeleton Army, but the wife makes us watch whenever Timberlake guests), but much of what I've seen online and, indeed, much of what I saw last night amused me. I didn't get the sense that Fallon is the greatest interviewer in the world, but that could come with time.
A couple of lingering questions after the special aired, although maybe they've already been answered (I've been too lazy to research myself): 1. Will The Roots be following Jimmy to 11:35 or staying with Seth at 12:35? I wonder how well Questo & Co. will adapt their style if they make the move...or if they'll even need to. The one thing the Roots have going for them is that they don't sound like the CBS Orchestra, and they sure as hell don't sound like Rickey & The Minors (or the Tonight Show Band, or whatever), but they can also be a little 'too hip' for affils & viewers in middle America. 2. Obviously, Jimmy's material is Jimmy's material, just as Conan got to take his signature bits with him to "Tonight". But has there been any official word on which recurring sketches will be killed off in the transition? I could see some of the guest-based games (Catchphrase, Password, etc.) working at 11:35, but probably not "Wheel of Carpet Samples" or "Let Us Play With Your Look". Similarly, I could see "Slow Jam the News" and "Thank You Notes" making the cut, but probably not the recurring chicken-suited musical covers.
