He wasn’t great on SNL either, constantly breaking character.

And the stuff he broke on wasn’t even funny.
His movies sucked too.
Almost Famous was good, but it wasn’t his movie.
It would have been great, if he wasn’t in it!
I mean, I don't wanna pile on, but....
When they announced Fallon for Tonight and Seth Meyers for Late Night, I said they got it backwards. Seth wouldn't be able to do what he does now, and is probably happier, but Seth has more poise and polish, and is an infinitely better interviewer than Jimmy.

Jimmy is good as supporting cast. Not to carry a show.
Lorne is the only reason Jimmy is there.
Yeah, but Lorne gave us Conan. Lorne's capable of spotting and promoting good talent. Fallon was okay at 12:35 (and that was mostly because he could stretch out and do more musical stuff). He's not the guy for the Tonight Show.
Conan got a raw deal. He would have succeeded with Tonight had he been given a chance.
I think they should've kept Leno a while longer until he naturally retired, though. The market was too oversaturated with the same kind of host, and Fallon I could tell for a while tried to mimic Jay in some ways. But Jay at 11:30 and Jimmy at 12:30 would've worked for a few more years.
NBC knew Leno was aging out of the demo. They wanted a succession plan.
Fallon also interviewed Trump back in September 2016. To say it did not go over well would be a major understatement; it's possible he's never recovered from it.

Who is Bari Weiss, the right-wing anti-trans queer woman being given the keys to CBS News?
She’s about to control the editorial direction of the once-celebrated network's news.

It's official. Paramount Global has completed a deal for The Free Press, and named its founder Bari Weiss as Editor In Chief at CBS News:

The Free Press is the site where Uri Berliner published his criticism of NPR News that ultimately led to the defunding of CPB.
This was part of the deal Paramount made with the FCC in order for its merger to get approved.

It will be interesting to see whether Colbert stays through May or the new regime just pays him a few million to go away. And what happens to "60 Minutes"?
Weiss only has editorial oversight of CBS News, not entertainment.
