Jimmy was good from the get go.

Fallon? No, he fricking blew. I'd say he started off worse than Colbert was. He seemed nervous and awkward and couldn't interview worth a shite. At least Colbert is confident and can interview people.

And if you're referring to Kimmel, he'd be the first to tell you that his first few years fricking blew. He didn't know what the frick he was doing and his shows were mostly bombs. The recurring Matt Damon joke is a result of Jimmy thinking he was about to be fired and hosted the worst show of all time with a juggler being his guest and his audience half filled. He ended the show saying "apologies to Matt Damon, we ran out of time", and that just killed his staff and what little audience he had. He figured it out eventually, but only Dave got it right from the start.
