We here at Grownheadz decided to modify our late night viewing a little bit. Last night was the premiere of Jimmy Fallon as the NEW host of Late Night. Everyone it seems is moving on up. Jay Leno gets a new primetime show, Conan gets his spot, and Jimmy Fallon gets to try out the 2nd biggest chair on late night talk.
I don’t know if one day we’ll be telling the grandkids “Ya know I watched the first show when it came on back in the day” but it was aight. You could tell Jimmy was definately a little nervous and its going to take minute for him to find his midnight grrove. But if history is any indication one of two things might happen.
-He’ll suck and die. See Magic Johnson, Chevy Chase, Whoopi Goldberg, and a cast of dozens with “former talk show host” on their resume.
-He’ll suck, but get better. Conan was universally panned when he took over the spot for David Letterman. Everybody was taking bets on when would get the ole heeve hoe. But alas it was not to be. NBC stuck by him and the loyalty payed off.
Anyhoo in a aight debut we found this little tidbit to be amusing.
NOTE: Questlove has said that Black Thought actually has a pretty good singing voice and has actually hinted that they might really do an all singing album. Could this be the beginning of the Roots road to becoming the Black Eyed Peas?
