   	I don't know why I overlooked this before; sorry for that.   
   Anyway.  I keep hearing rumors about Jimmy Fallon being the New Late   
   Night Host, but I have to admit I still don't get why.  It seems kind   
   of like a repeat of the rumors when Letterman was leaving Late Night   
   that Dana Carvey or another former-Saturday Night Live-player would   
   get the post.  It was a surprise when someone as obscure as Conan of   
   April 1993 got the job, but it did also turn out very well; I'm not   
   sure why they wouldn't try to repeat that good experience.   
      
   	Has Jimmy Kimmel got something that really powerfully commends   
   him to a talk show host role?
