Its both. The days of a long, drawn out monologue like Johnny used to give are over...but you still can't make the monologue of The Tonight Show an after-thought. Carson kicked arse in the monologue, the skits, and the interviews. Jimmy is going to kick arse (for the most part) in the skits & viral stuff...but he can't just lean on all of that. He's got to be able to give a solid monologue and have interviews where he doesn't come across as a fan.

Jimmy, like Conan, is going to be a change of pace at 11:30. IMO, he'll adapt better than Conan did and I don't see NBC kicking him to the curb in 6 months even if the ratings are garbage. However, he's getting a cushion now due to the newness of his show and the Olympics.
