...the thing I find most striking, is the ADD aspect of the show. The segments and bits are shorter and more frequent, rather than any one sustained bit. Even the monologue is broken up into segments with bits thrown in. I'm sure it's my age showing...but I'm equally sure they like to create things in short, easily digestible, easily viral video bits.
I was struck by a few things on the first night. The sets are gorgeous and very welcoming. Fallon seemed close to tears the entire evening. Like Kevin, I was afraid people would go plummeting to their death off the top of 30 Rock, and the camera work was similarly ADD for that segment. I recognized each of the walk-ons, and found the segment to be a nice way to allow his friends to give him some support that night while making a pretty hilarious joke. Colbert will always steal such a segment--very funny, very generous. I remember a time when the late night wars were so vicious that you would never see someone even acknowledge the presence of another show in their time slot. Colbert also mentioned Fallon on his own program Monday night, again a classy move. I wasn't expecting to like Fallon at all, but I've got him on the DVR season pass for now and we will see how it goes... Karla -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
