I know what you mean, it's hard for me to find something with Adam Sandler that I like, there have been a few, but not many.

It's not just you that doesn't like Adam Sandler

I'll third that. I just don't get what's so funny about these guys. Guess I'm just old...

I thought was good in Funny People. Doubt I was the target audience for the rest, so skipped it.

He and Leno are just to damn old and their humor is very much directed at the 45-65 demographic.

Fallon isn't a stand up comic or at least that isn't the way his show is directed. He does it different and it works better IMHO. I wish I stayed up late enough to watch him on a regular basis.

Of course. There was nothing else on, recently, for one thing. Some of us grew up with Late Night. We'll see what Fallon brings.

If I watch a late nite talk show, it is usually Jimmy Kimmel.

Wait... wait... I must have had a brain f@rt or something... I was thinking Jimmy Kimmel when I read Jimmy Fallon. My bad. Fallon is much better than Kimmel, I'll give him that.

However, neither of them would induce me to watch. I'm old enough to remember Jack Parr.

I'm an Ace Birdie guy myself.

I used to want to strangle Fallon when he'd laugh during SNL skits, even if I liked the skit, itself, but I really grew to like him once he moved on to late night.

I remember Jack Parr, and Steve Allen. I thought Steve Allen was hilarious.

Haven't watched Fallon, yet, but I did see his ragtime rendition of Ignition. That was freakin awesome

The guy has no talent whatsoever; you don't like him because you've seen comedians who do.
