Blind Item #9

This late night host is not only stealing jokes from comics they see around town, but is also stealing bits from YouTube stars.

Wasn’t Kimmel accused of this?

However since they are reading shit a writer bought or stole from someone it's technically wrong to say the host stole it, unless he writes.

Fallon is woefully unfunny. The current crop of late night hosts make me pine for the days Magic Johnson used to try to speak on tv.

Brayson87 said...

To be fair, it would be his writing team that were the thieves, he'd have to sober up every now and then to steal something.

Village Guru said...

Fallon never has been funny, even on SNL.

Brayson87 said...

They probably thought they could get away with it as YouTube slants younger and late night tv slants mostly elderly nowadays. Seriously who is tuning in to that tv commercial laden garbage? Get some f*ckin' Netflix and watch Trailer Park Boys or just go online already.

@Village, You can't blame any one person for SNL not being funny, it's a group effort.

Count Jerkula said...

You can blame one person, Lorne Michaels.

This is Conan. He just paid $450,000 to settle a case where the writers of the show stole jokes from a comic's twitter feed. After Andy and Patton they settled before they deposed Conan

Fallon was funny on one skit. The Barry Gibb Talk Show. I don't care who you are, that was funny.

My guess would be Fallon in his never ending quest to be hip and cool. Kimmel is certainly not above it but his staff is probably to highly paid and professional or maybe just smart enough to get away with it.

HeatherBee said...

Conan stole the jokes and paid for them. Fallon is the guy who has been kissed by the heavens for having a shrug and a a giggle.

Vita said...

Well, Conan's had his case pending for a while, so I can't imagine him doing anything further during that time.
I didn't know about the accusations vs.Kimmel that are linked above, but he's had a couple of new sketch/fake ad type skits lately, where I thought a questionable new writer might have been hired.

What about James Corden? He basically stole Carpool Karaoke off of Flula Borg.

This is obviously about Conan

Tink said...

Hope it’s Kimmel. He sucks. Really bums me out how close he is to Howard Stern.

Jack's Girl said...

I miss Craig Ferguson.

Count Jerkula said...

Stern has been horrible for years. I listened from the WNBC days, when i was 8y/o, until Artie poked holes in his gut. After that there was nothing worth listening to.

Really, it hasnt been a comedy show since the E! Show began, and as an interview show, at best he is 2nd fiddle to Rogan in both quality of interview and caliber of guest.

I subscribe to all their Youtube channels, just for the music guests and the occasional good guest. Colbert,Bee and Noah are insufferable 'Liberals' who are responsible for Trump winning. Fallon and Kimmel at least are vaguely funny and entertaining on occasion. The Roots save fallon's show. Corden is a c***.
