I don't classify myself as a fan, but I have noted that I like him a hell of a lot more already than I did Leno. I am puzzled by Kevin's aggressive animosity towards Fallon, since at worst he is mostly inoffensive, while Leno was a blight on the human species (ok, that may have been hyperbole). I do want to emphasize again what a tremendous opportunity the Olympic lead-in gave Fallon - there were 6 million additional people watching him on that first night; if he could persuade only 5% of them to watch his show he would have a significant increase over Leno, and assure himself a successful first year.
