Will "Late Night" Plunge with Fallon?

Will he bomb?

Fallon has always lacked a natural timing with his jokes and, to me, never really had a strong presence as a host. Actually, I find his humor to be forced when he is himself; he translates much better, with comedic timing, as a character actor (see Almost Famous).

I find him a bit squirrely and I don't know if that will translate well on late night television to John Q. Average.

Your thoughts?

Gouk, this is not meant to marginalize your post but is late night TV relevant anymore? I do not stay up to watch Leno, Letterman, Conan or Kimmel. Kimmel is mildly funny and Dave lost it long ago. Dave and I saw a Kimmel taping two years ago and that was the last late night broadcast I watched.
