Here's a charming bit from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon…and I think it points up what's wrong with the show. Observe how little Mr. Fallon brings to the number. Granted, anyone appearing on TV surrounded by Muppets is by definition going to be the least-interesting person on the screen. But he doesn't react. He doesn't interact. All he does is stand there and look like a nice guy…which from all reports, he is. Every time I've tried watching his program, that's what I see…Jimmy Fallon being pleasant without giving his guests anything to play off of. I really want to like him but he sure doesn't make it easy.
