Hate to see it!

NBC has canceled Jimmy Fallon's reality show after the program struggled with ratings.

On Brand with Jimmy Fallon aired for just one season before it was axed by the network. The show was hosted by Fallon and saw him set up a marketing agency filled "with the most creative, clever, and competitive go-getters he can find." Fallon, who recently dropped an unexpected Savannah Guthrie bombshell, was joined by Netflix marketing chief Bozoma Saint John as On Brand Agency’s Chief Marketing Offer.

Nudge me with an elbow the day Fallon, Kimmel and everyone of their ilk are completely canceled by the networks.

This says it all about what's wrong with the so-called entertainment industry. At some point, they stopped entertaining and got into the business of INFLUENCING.

If Hollywood ever cleans up their act maybe I'll start paying attention to them again.

I think live broadcast shows over the air are going to go away eventually like newspapers. Nobody will watch it if it's not worth recording and watching again later. If its not entertaining, nobody's going to record or watch it in the streaming era. At least HBO knew to release a weekly episode at a time to make it must tune-in viewing. That's why football and sports in general are still king of broadcast television.

Dude, Fallon is not all that political. He's about as political as Leno or Carson ever were.

Seth Meyers, on the other hand.........

Fallon does not get political like Kimmel and Colbert. He got criticized by the left for humanizing Trump as a guest when Trump let him mess his hair up.
