Last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, the always-bowling-for-a-
strike host tried a new stunt: an online petition for a Saved By The
Bell 20-year cast reunion on his show. He brought out a clammily
enthusiastic Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins), and together they implored
Tifanni Thiesson, Dustin Diamond, and the rest of the cast of that
lousy but nostalgia-beloved sitcom to get back together.
Me, I thought this was Fallon at his lamest. He was trying to do
something new, but it felt like a bit Conan O'Brien would have done
ten years ago, only funnier. On the other hand, I wouldn't be
surprised if the reunion comes off; if he gets Elizabeth Berkley to
agree, the rest will probably fall into line.
What do you think? Will you sign the petition? Or just switch over to
Craig Ferguson?

Wow, cutting edge comedy with Fallon! A test pattern for a hour would
be funnier!
1 vote for Craig!

I've never watched Craig before, but I vote Craig. I vote Craig F.
over Jimmy and I'd vote the *original* Craig K.
Can you believe Conan's aging-college boy "humour" will be littering
the 11:35 landscape in a couple of months?????

I get more entertainment watching TVG from 11pm to midnight (even on monday
and tuesday when there are no in studio announcers, just the races).
Just a reminder, Lady Luck has it's season premier on TVG this Wed. at 10pm.
CATCH IT!

Fallon is worse than Conan and Conan will suck big time in Leno's
slot.

Sounds like he's trying extra-hard to get an internet meme going. It's
like Colbert after he realized he has the power to sway the internet
and it stopped being fun.You can't force these things, Jimmy.

I saw Fallon from his show for the first time this morning on This
Week on ABC. He was in the Sunday Funnies segment... he looked nervous
and scared to death. No funny here.
I watch Ferguson occasionally and find him to be funny and clever. I
vote for Craig.
