Conan generally avoided political satire, but he let us know he had conviction.

Jimmy Fallon is like a bizarre growth which was lanced from the cancerous host of Leno—which has since metastasized and attached itself to America’s lowest common denominator.

I was never bothered by his performance on SNL—I enjoyed watching him break character during skits.

Seeing that same shtick morph into its current product and platform is unsettling.

Yeah but even him breaking on SNL got real old and tired pretty quickly. It started honest and then it seems like he starts forcing it thereby making it not actually funny anymore. But then he just kept doing the disingenuous laughter as a host which made it even hollower.
