    Saw that too. I knew Armisen was a musician (he often played during SNL skits), but had no idea he was the drummer for Trenchmouth back in the 90's.

    You only saw on episode of The Tonight Show With Jay Leno? Then, how could you miss him?

    Conan screwed himself by not being funny. And he's still not, and never will be.

    Well, that's one person's opinion. IMHO, he's a lot funny than Dave and Jay.

    That was sarcasm. I'm not going to miss him. if I miss anyone, it'll be Seth Meyers on Weekend Update, but I think Cecily Strong will continue to be good and become great.

    Watched both Tonight Show and Late Night farewell episodes. Nothing special on either except for the Muppets bit.

    As I've been told before, emoticons are your friend. I do think Cecily Strong is funny, but if she is an anchor she probably won't do her girl that you wish you hadn't started a conversation with a party character, or whatever it's called.

    Two. He and his schlubby sidekick are like a couple of 10-year-olds playing "talk show" in their parents' basement. Cringingly unfunny.

    She is good, in fact SNL has one of the strongest female casts that they have ever had right now in my opinion.

    So, did anyone watch the show? I did, and I loved it. Is it me, or did Jimmy seem a little nervous?

    Best part of the night comes at 9:15 of this video: (Start at around 7:40 for the full effect.)

    I liked it when at the end of all those giving him a hundred bucks, Stephen Colbert dumps a 10000 pennies on Fallon and yells "welcome to 11:30....Bitch!"

    That was the best part of the whole segment (not to mention his "selfie" with Jimmy ).
