Late Night Television going down the tubes...

Thought of the Day:

Personally I have never watched to much late night talk shows besides Conan O'brien. But now I heard that Jimmy Fallon will replace Cona O'brien as host of NBC's Late Night in 2009. I'm not saying I'm not a fan of SNL, believe me I am, butI really didn't like the fact that most media outlets pointed to Fallon to be the saving of SNL a few years back. The man couldn't hold back from laughing almost every skit he was in! After Will Ferrell left in 2002 I believe that was the beginning of the rapid end of the long series. Once a juggernaut producing the next big comedy star for the movie industry (Eddie Murphy, John Belushi, Dan Aykroyd, Adam Sandler etc etc) has now fizzled out. In its place is now the alumni from the Daily Show taking charge of the market in a to totally different fashion. If anything they should get a shot of primetime television. This is exactly why I stopped watching basic network television...

Sidenote: One the head writers for the Daily Show first got his start for writing for Space Ghost Coast to Coast.
