I think I'm going to give Jimmy Fallon and his new talk show, that which is replacing Conan O'Brien's, a chance at entertaining me. I will probably set the DVR to record it, as my late-night brain is a bit sluggish and glassy, and incredibly unable to judge humor or intelligence in what I may be watching at that time. That is the primary reason why I record The Daily Show and The Colbert Report to watch during the following day's naptime. I need an awake head to appreciate that kind of sarcasm and brilliantly funny insight. Who knows yet if Fallon will deliver, but I'll give him a shot. After all, what I really need is another television show I am compelled to watch.
What's weird is that I never watched Conan at 11:35 p.m. I probably still won't watch him at 11:05 p.m. I've never been a big fan of Jay, and I think Letterman is purposely rude, so the entire late-night television thing wasn't ever a big deal to me. I'll give Conan and Jimmy a chance at their new nightly gigs, but should point out that, if they are not impressive, are too juvenile, or are too "network," I'll happily ditch the entire enterprise.
