Jimmy Fallon is leaving SNL and nobody told me. I was watching SNL on Saturday (which was pretty good BTW) and all the sudden they’re talking about how it was the last time he’d do this or that, and I was all “he hah aha.. wait, what??!?”
Now don’t tell me he’s heading off to pursue his promising movie career a la Dana Carvey, Norm Macdonald or Chris (who am I kidding?) Kattan. This is gonna be ugly.
Now, I like Jimmy. I actually got to hang out with him once in college. He played a show at UNM and the event staff took him to this all nite diner afterwards. We pretty much ended up talking about Simpsons episodes all nite and he told us about what it was like making it onto SNL.
But really, I don’t expect him to be able to carry a movie at all. He can do one fine Droopy Dog impression, I’ll give him that, but he can’t keep a straight face for 10 seconds- and he’s a comedian (don’t buy the his CD expecting to her good standup either). He’s great for SNL, just like Norm was, but I really don’t think he’ll go anywhere as an actor, and that’s a shame for both.
Maya, pleaseohpleaseohplease stay put!!!

mrjerz added these pithy words on May 17 04 at 2:27 pmI’m sorry man, but Tina Fey has carried him for the past few years. Not only can she deliver on Weekend Update, but she writes it all too. A monkey could do Jimmy’s job.
Ed Adkins added these pithy words on May 17 04 at 3:31 pmI agree. He showed promise when he began with SNL, but nowadays he and Hoacio just get on my nerves with their constant laughing.
b4dice added these pithy words on May 18 04 at 8:14 pmto bad you nerds are so wrong because jimmy was the whole show especially now since all of the greats are gone. his movies will be excellent and he was great in almost famous so get lost. you dont even know funny, and for sure you should buy his CD it is a crack up
ed added these pithy words on May 19 04 at 8:41 amHey Jerz- we’re nerds. heh heh. we also don’t know funy. heh heh heh.
yhf added these pithy words on May 19 04 at 2:41 pmJimmy totally held SNL together. He and Tina were definetely the best, and his CD is awesome. I also recommend looking up his various holiday parodies.
ed added these pithy words on May 19 04 at 2:48 pmby “awesome” do you mean occasionally chuckle-worthy? ’cause then he’s really awesome. Really.
b4dice added these pithy words on May 20 04 at 4:10 pmi so agree with yhf because tina and jimmy were like pb&j they just go together and they were the best for snl too.
HalfcourtCrane added these pithy words on Jul 24 04 at 8:44 pmLay the hell off Jimmy. You guy don’t know jack about how well he can act. He’s never had a TRUE starring role, and nobody knows how well he can do. And as for the not being able to hold a straight face, he’s INSTRUCTED to periodically break character, especially when a bit is dying or just not going anywhere and everbody realizes it. On top of that, you people need something better to do with your time than argue over the future of someone else. Worry about your own.
RITZY96 added these pithy words on Mar 21 06 at 11:38 amI am amazed to read HALFCOURTCRANE’s comments on 7/24/04 about Jimmy Fallon. If he or she ever comes back to this site, please read what you wrote. “he’s INSTRUCTED to periodically break character, especially when a bit is dying or just not going anywhere and everbody realizes it.” Jimmy Fallon broke character ALL THE TIME. Doesn’t that then say something about how many of his bits were “dying” or “going no where”? I don’t recall a single show where Fallon didn’t break character at least once. Tells you something about his batting average I think.
