Love him, record every night - my son usually goes thru them and finds all the best bits that I *have* to watch! I'm not a huge fan of the intro music or the house band - I don't think it's Roots per se, I think I find the house bands on late night TV to be ridiculously loud and grating. I like the guys in Roots a LOT, but wish the whole intro music was better. I think Fallon could compete with Johnny in the years to come as one of the best - he's genuine, he's excited about his guests, he's excited about where he is and how he got there. Good guy does well - that's a win. It makes the rest of the bunch look so dated and jaded - you can totally tell with David Letterman is having an off night. His intro with the Robin Williams tribute last night totally had me And I'm someone who adores Timberlake as an actor - I think they are just genuine guys having a lot of fun at work!

I love him. I love his hashtag bits and his monologues are hilarious.
When Daniel Radcliffe was on and they played Velcro ball (where they had to throw balls at each other to stick them to their Velcro suits) I woke my DH up laughing so hard. It was so funny!
He is such a breath of fresh air.

Hilarious! Yes, there are some things he does over and over. A HUGE and good change from Jay Leno who seemed to do the same things much more than Jimmy Fallon.

I think he is funny. However, since I don't watch often, I am not annoyed by anything he does. I mostly end up seeing him on Youtube.

I like him, but am rarely up to watch him in the evening.

I think he seems like a genuinely nice guy - but I just feel kind of "meh" about him. Some things are really good (loved Kevin Bacon, for example) but I don't think his interviews are all that great.
I get very nostalgic about Johnny Carson, and sometimes just really miss those days.

I want to like him, but I don't really care for his show. I liked him better on SNL.

I think he's very talented, but don't really care for him. Like others have said, I think some of his skits go on too long and I personally don't think he's that great of an interviewer. It seems like every interview I've seen him do, he ends up talking more about himself. I still miss Johnny Carson (am I showing my age?).

He is such a breath of fresh air. Me too! I don't like his games much but that one was funny!! I do love the way he interacts with the guests and the pros and cons.

I like him, but only watch on YouTube when he has amazing skits (that I hear about here, hehe), or if there is a History of Rap with JT.
