No, he's not good. He laughs at his own jokes to get the audience to awkwardly laugh at them. People don't laugh at his jokes, they laugh at him for being retarded.

Anyone see the Ferguson episode that was taken over by the puppets?
Comedy gold.
Comedy gold.
But, that's the thing. Why are his ratings so bad? He is established. Letterman sucks, but he consistently beats Conan. Was it just the affairs? Does Conan have to fuck some interns to gain legitimacy?
The whole thing is ridiculous. Leno needs to retire. Conan will win over Letterman, it just may take more time than we expected.
fuck that unfunny douche leno. I stopped watching the late show because of him.
I think they are both pretty funny, probably like Conan more. However, whenever I catch a few minutes of Ferguson, he doesn't fail to make me laugh. I should really start watching his shows. He's a funny fucker.
Conan was on the fence. I really think if he didn't have Andy Richter as a cohost, Norm MacDonald on as a guest every 2 weeks, and the talking lips bit, he would have failed.
Conan would make fun of himself all the time but not because he was shitty at delivering jokes. Fallon is shitty ad delivering jokes.
Also, Max Weinberg > The Roots.
A mainstream band being a house band for a late night talk show is just retarded.
He's pretty horrible. I've watched 1 or 2 times and it's just awkward moment after awkward moment of unfunniness.
I was a fan of Fallon and Fey on SNL. But now, good god he's horrible.
Ferguson is great because he'll allude to his previous drinking problem a lot.

Let's dig up Johnny Carson and put him back behind the desk.
He'd be more entertaining than Fallon.
I predict Jimmy Fallon will do quite well. I have been watching random episodes and his first few months were indeed, fucking awful. However, he is secretly an incredibly funny guy and once you get into his mode of comedy, you will slowly begin to appreciate it.
Now, I think he's the best thing on TV. Tonight Show Conan is good, but I enjoyed him more in the 12:30 slot. Maybe because it was more homebrew and less massive theatrical explosion every night.
Apparently this has a lot to do with local affiliates as well, as with conan's ratings down, less people are watching the local news which costs the small guys a fortune. This is a big part of why they want Jay back at 1130.
When Jay took the 10pm slot I really thought he was a genius. NGFM is borderline psycho sometimes but he is right that people don't stay up nearly as late as they used to. If Conan's show was on at 10pm I'd watch it every night. 11:30-12:30 is geeeettin preeeeetty laaaate these days :s
