Jimmy Fallon has created world's funniest webisode
Jimmy Fallon has broken new comedy ground. His first ever webisode is going super viral. His webisode has overshadowed the news that Jay Leno is getting a primetime show. Fallon is getting ready for his new late night gig as soon-to-be-host of NBC's "Late Night" and posted his first video blog. Fallon will be doing a live nightly 5-minute Web tidbit at 12:30 Eastern until his show premieres on NBC next year. His premiere webisode last night was one word: incredible. It was only 96 seconds long, but it was jam-packed with hilarious comedy. Why isn't Jimmy getting his own primetime show? Seriously. Jimmy and his writers have basically reinvented the comedy wheel. "What's amazing about his new brand of comedy is that it's so subtle, but so damn hilarious," says Ben Silverman, co-chairman of NBC Entertainment. Here are just a couple of lines from Fallon's webisode. "Right now we're here at Studio 6 B, our new home. Take a look. Look at this place. We're so lucky to get it because local NBC News is moving out." "And that's where the internet comes in. That's where you come in...send me a video. Send me an e-mail." Silverman is so right. His humor is subtle but incredibly funny. We can't wait for tonight's second webisode.
