I’ve always been a Jimmy Fallon fan, but I’ve honestly never watched Craig Ferguson’s show before. However, this move was classy, funny, and well…brilliant. I think they have both earned respect and perhaps more viewers with this simple, kind gesture.
Craig’s had Fallon’s back from the beginning–at the Winter Meetings last year, before Fallon took over, he asked the critics to give him a chance to settle in.
Both such classy guys… much more so than their 11:35 counterparts. It will be so good for TV when both Leno and Letterman just go away.
I think Craig deserves a Nobel peace prize for late night Tv
I don’t think Jimmy’s all that funny, but he seems like a nice guy, and last night was evidence of that.
The haters are the network lawyers who send takedowns to block fans. I guess they are convinced the shows have all the audience they’d ever want, eh?
Thanks to Craig and Jimmy for making the first step to end the Late Night Wars. The next steps: NBC executives stop bitching and blaming Conan O’Brien for their incompetence, and Jay Leno admitting he is NOT a victim.
What you see above holds the biggest problem w/ NBC: they don’t like their stuff on YouTube. CBS is smart, they encourage it. But NBC’s full of ppl who don’t understand the internet.
Ferguson is the best thing in late night.
@Josh re: “But NBC’s full of ppl who don’t understand the internet.”
Really? I thought NBC was responsible for Hulu.com?
The only ones who are trying to keep the late night wars going are Conan and his fans. Everyone else has moved on.
Yes, I’ve given Ferguson a chance, and no, I don’t think he’s funny. A little too-seat-of-his-pants for me. People, just because he seems to be having a ball doesn’t make him funny! I think Fallon has settled in nicely, but he does waaay to much audience participation stuff. Not sure what others think, but I watch the show because I think the host is funny, not the other people sitting in the studio. They are not professionals, and thus, NOT FUNNY.
