5 Reasons Jimmy Fallon Belongs On The Tonight Show (And One Reason He Might Not)

2. He€™s Multitalented

latenightjimmyfallon-springsteen-neilyoung The age is over when it was enough for a late night performer to simply tell some jokes while mugging at the camera. This isn€™t a criticism of older iterations of late night, simply an observation of the world we live in today. Our culture is the fastest and most technologically packed one in history, and it€™s fair to say Fallon both knows this, and knows how to take advantage of it. He first gained mainstream buzz via his video clips and performances from Late Night, which often go viral. He€™s also a versatile musical performer and improv worker, thanks to his standup background and time on Saturday Night Live. Fallon takes a fresh approach to comedy, and that keeps things interesting and fun to watch.
