Let me perfectly frank here: I don’t care for Jimmy Fallon. As such, I tend to think NBC is going to land closer to the “Carson Daly” side of things than the “Conan O’Brien” side with their hire. That being said, he’s on late night and he starts tonight, so I’m willing to give him a chance.
I don’t necessarily suggest you do the same thing, unless you really, really like awkward, forced laughter, or enjoy seeing a guy with crazy hair make an ass out of himself. (And for the latter, why not just try going downtown and filming homeless people? It’s cheaper than cable.) But if you, like me, are going to force yourself to watch Fallon fall flat on his face, why not at least do the same thing? Because that’s what Videogum’s Late Night with Jimmy Fallon drinking game will probably make you do.
You Drink Every Time:
-Jimmy Fallon cracks his trademark “Boy Grin”
-Jimmy Fallon seems in over his head
-Jimmy Fallon runs a hand through or in any other way draws attention to his carefully mussed hair
-Jimmy Fallon references the internet
-Jimmy Fallon surprises you with an actually really funny joke
-You miss ConanAnd throw in one drink to Jimmy Fallon’s health and success.
Or, if you’re spiteful like me, “failure and impending cancellation.” Look, I know people like Fallon, but people also love Dane Cook. Our country is at a late night comedy crossroads of sorts, and unless Conan balls it up on the Tonight Show (he will) we’re all f’d in the a. Because we’ll be stuck between deciding on that stupid British Craig guy and Fallon’s stupid ass.
Of course, on the bright side, he could always just end up riding the coattails of his guests like he did everyone else on Saturday Night Live.

no seriously, conan needs to come back because this guys failing, HARD. the only reason why he hasnt crashed and burned yet is because of all the big name celebrities that have appeared on his show, i saw conan on the chris rock show last night and it made me miss him soooo much >< the little comedic spits are what made his show what it is, and fallon has NONE.
