The Banal Horror of Jimmy Fallon
www.currentaffairs.org
Under the sterile blue lights of his studio, Fallon laughs endlessly at the same pseudo-jokes, rubs elbows with Trump and Sam Altman, and ushers in the death of culture.

I don’t watch “Tonight Show,” but I watch Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas every year and damn if this existential nostalgia horror doesn’t define the Fallon/Parton musical number in the 50’s diner

    You mentioned SNL and it occurred to me that Fallon has been rewarded with a national version of “Jared’s Room,” a parody of pre-YouTube webcam college bro humor.

    Fallon as Jared was never funny. He wasn’t meant to be funny. (Horatio Sanz scored a couple good bits) He couldn’t get shit right but thought that everything around him was hilarious because his brain was permafried on 2000 era mids.
