Colbear a bit too dry, and too many of his jokes go over my head. Clunkers now and then, but overall humorous enough and a trump detractor so OK enough. C+.
Jimmy Fallon is little more than a shouting HAM, both on his late night as well as other celebrity shows he is on, and just about wherever he goes. He also had that kerfuffle with his staff.
Fallon's monologue is usually so stupid and unfunny; I used to watch and rarely did I even crack a smile while constantly groaning and rolling eyes. His 'notable names', name after name, being lead-ins for some inane attempt to be funny need to be banned, they are idiotic. He has a live audience but I am sure they are coaxed by flashing signs to applaud and cheer at most all he says, and I also think this is supplemented by canned laughter, for some of of the idiotic things he says should not get such tremendous support.
Sure Fallon mocks trump but he also mocked Biden with pathetic 'he knew Abe Lincoln' style jokes.
Utter failure F.
PS: does Fallon's band Roots know any tune other than hey hey hey, and 'get involved'?

Seth Meyers is pretty good, sharp but goes off on silly tangents and parts are clunkers, B+.
Jimmy Kimmel the best and brightest A. Sadly I read today 2025 or 26 will be his last year, as well as Colbear. Je ne parle pas francais, colbert.
