We fully expected Jimmy Fallon’s debut in Conan’s slot on NBC to be tragically terrible.
But it wasn’t.
Partially, he has his buddy Justin Timberlake to thank for that since nothing is ever bad when insanely talented Baby Daddy JT is in the house, but Jimmy also has a fun, affable, slightly spazzy delivery that we dug. After months of anticipating the worst, we were pleasantly surprised.
He was even able to make Robert DeNiro chuckle.
Welcome to late night, Fallon.
We look forward to falling asleep to you for years to come.
