No offense to any of the Jimmy Fallon fans out there but he's not even the best Jimmy on late-night television these days and there isn't a skit he can do, an interview that he can conduct, or a song he can make a gimmick out of that will match the intensity or importance of his historical look-a-like in Turkish revolutionist, Mahir Cayan. Matter of fact, not many of us have the balls to top any type of revolutionist but at least Jimmy Fallon should give Kimmel a run for his money from time to time.
Jimmy Fallon has been working the late-night talk show/comedy sketch circuit for a couple of decades now and is currently the host of The Tonight Show after doing stints with Saturday Night Live and Late Night and probably won't be headed anywhere for decades to come. One thing Fallon has on both Kimmel and Fallon though is his taste in music, there's no denying that Jimmy Fallon has the best house band in late night with The Roots backing him.
