From a TNR piece called “The Case Against Jimmy Fallon”:
“The Jimmy Fallon we know--the "Saturday Night Live" alum who can't keep a straight face during a sketch--seduces young female viewers because of his boyish ineptitude. The 30-year-old has made a career of channeling a twelve-year-old who watches too much Pee Wee Herman.”Posted by Stephen Silver at October 11, 2004 08:22 PM
Amen. The fact that he could never get through an SNL sketch without cracking up doesn't mean he has some kind of boyish charm, it means he couldn't act wet if he were weighted down and dumped in the Hudson River. (Which isn't the worst idea I've ever heard.)
