I'm still trying to understand how someone could be much more "cultivated" than Fallon is. If close to a decade as the star of one of the biggest franchises on television and another five years as the host of Late Night isn't "cultivation", then its hard for me to understand how your vision of a podcaster with some guest-hosting gigs would be. I totally get why some people are worried that Fallon's strengths and interests don't play to the kind of show that they want The Tonight Show to be -- interviews are never going to be his strong suit, for example -- but I think you are letting your dislike of his comedy make you say some pretty illogical things against him here. d -- -- TV or Not TV ....
