In Defense of Jimmy Fallon and Carson Daly
Last
week, my colleague Jamil posted an item about Jimmy Fallon and Carson Daly being named as two of the top-contenders to take over Late Night when Conan O'Brien leaves for The Tonight Show in 2009. Personally, I found the post to have an unfairly negative spin on the news, and would like to offer another take.
Jimmy Fallon and Carson Daly are not the two worst candidates to succeed Conan. In fact, they're only the 7th and 4th worst, respectively. Or for you optimists out there, they're the 74,833rd and 74,836th best. It's all right here, in this scientifically assembled list of the ten worst potential hosts of Late Night:
10. Kim Jong Il
9. Whoopi Goldberg
8. A kick in the balls
7. Jimmy Fallon
6. Two kicks in the balls
5. Puppy cancer
4. Carson Daly
3. Kim Jong Fields
2. Chevy Chase
1. The Holocaust
So enough with the vitriol being spewed at Fallon and Daly. It could be worse. At least a little.
