Coffee with Obama

It's not about the politico...just about something funny to watch:

I watched it and it made me laugh, which is a pretty good thing given how not funny politics are right now, Ya_Know?

That was really good. Thanks for sharing.

That show is hit and miss with me. That one was a miss. Had nothing to do with Obama. I watch those for the cars and to be amused. It was just a candid interview. Meh.

I am one of the few people in my peer group that likes Jimmy Fallon. I liked him on SNL, took me a few months to warm up to him hosting the Tonight Show because he tries way too hard to be everyone's buddy. I liked the Bill Burr episode as well, but currently Bill Burr is my absolute favorite comedian so that is a bit biased.

For the record, I really don't like Jerry, I don't think he is that funny. But...he surrounds himself with some very talented people, so I give him credit for being smart. I never watched his TV show to see what he was up too, it was always about what George, Elaine and Kramer were up too.

I don't really like Jimmy Fallon either, I think it's a oppositional reaction because he's so beloved that I am instantly like "eff him"
I agree completely on Jerry. You hit the nail on the head there.

I think Fallon is extremely talented and very funny. But his style of humor never translated well to a talk show. His bits on the show are great, but I kind of miss interviews.

Johnny Carson re-runs have started on MeTV. I might check them out. I loved him growing up.

Carson had such a dominance over his guests...didn't matter who you were, if you were on the tonight show with Carson, you were nervous. But it was a respectful enough dominance and control that allowed him to be so entertaining. Where ai agree, Fallon try's to appease everyone, he shows no leadership, it's almost like he's a puppet. I love his humor, just can't stand him as the tonight show host.

yeah, I can see that. he could make you or break you after 1 appearance. That would make me nervous as well.
