Under the sterile blue lights of his studio, Fallon laughs endlessly at the same pseudo-jokes, rubs elbows with Trump and Sam Altman, and ushers in the death of culture.

    while I probably agree with the article, I just couldn’t bring myself to …read about Jimmy Fallon.

      Why does it feel like having to do my taxes whenever I have to read about or watch a clip of Jimmy Fallon?

    My only explanation this TV vermin is still around is a crossroads soul-selling deal with the devil where he asked to be a famous comedian but forgot to also ask to be funny.

      This is the most plausible explanation I have seen.

      I mean, that’s the devil in the details. Fame at the cost of respect

    Poetry:

    „Donald Trump has called for the firing of almost all of the other late night hosts—Colbert, Kimmel, even Seth Meyers—but excluded Fallon from his hit-list, because Trump recognizes that there’s nothing about Fallon’s empty banality that could be anything close to a threat“

      I’m reminded of that old talk with the line “don’t anthropomorphize Larry Ellison”, which should be extended to all billionaires.

    This dude has stunk since forever. Who the hell’s dick has he been sucking to even have a career in comedy?

      He must know where the bodies are buried or something, because there’s no logical explanation for how he’s kept his job for so long despite being so bad at every aspect of it. He’s a terrible host, comedian, and interviewer.

      Someone posted this interview he did with Fred Armisen a while back, and it’s infuriating how he constantly interrupts or tries to one-up Armisen’s set despite having nothing to add. He just seems to have a pathological need to be the center of attention at all times.

        Ironically, fuck Armisen, too. What an absolute cockhole.

    I’m convinced that Horatio Sanz took the fall for shit that both he and Fallon were doing.

    Reading this makes me wish Aamon Animation would do a Jimmy Fallon video.

The world we live in isn’t just dystopic, it isn’t just stupid, trying to describe all the ways it sucks just makes for a really boring story.
