If you're giving the opening monologue on SNL, I'd say it's a solid bet that you're host material.

Had someone managed to look at a calendar they would have noticed that December 12, 2011 wasn't a Saturday and maybe would have hit it dead on. But I guess finding a book with a year chart in it takes a bit more time than looking it up on timeanddate.com.

Good Lord. 13 years later and Jimmy Fallon is somehow still relevant?

Oh, right, the Mayan apocalypse is NEXT year...

It was the whole Y2K thing.

Whenever I feel the need to be intensely embarrassed for someone, I turn on Fallon's show. It's like the Checker's of talk shows. Really? McDs isn't OK for you? OK, i get that, how about Wendy's? No? Not even Burger King? Culver's? In and Out? Hardees? Big Boy? No? You want to go out of your way specifically for a Checker's burger?

More impressive were the Pardo 9000 and the spot-on Michael Stipe prognostications.

Fallon couldn't carry Kreskin's jock strap.

Say what you want about Fallon, but I happen to find him pretty funny. The sketch with him and Andy Samberg as his reflection was farking hilarious.

wow he looked the same and was just as horribly unfunny then as he is now..

Agreed but isn't R.E.M. no more?

Dang, Alec Baldwin was so much younger and thinner back then.

// Ooops. Will the Fark filters change "Baldwin" to "Bialdwin" to make it less offensive?

He sucked on SNL because he was constantly breaking character and laughing. But his bits where he performs as Neil Young are awesome.

I'll admit it, that one was funny, but it was a ripoff homage to this old skit starring Mick Jagger and Jimmy Fallon playing the reflection. Link (new window)

On the whole though, it seems like Fallon has matured a little, and wasn't constantly breaking character at every slightly amusing line. I'm sure that's attributable to the past year or so he's been doing his talk show.

Maybe not Don Pardo, but close.

I am steadfast in my belief that the announcer job on SNL was actually done by Darrell Hammond doing a Don Pardo impression from 2004-2009.

Do you really think a semi-retired announcer in his late 80's was flying back and forth from Tucson to NYC every week just to rattle off the same list of names, unseen, on live TV?
