The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Season 9 Episode 172

Okay, Let's Talk Fallon (Again)

So, another night, another Tonight Show. Specifically, we're diving into Season 9 Episode 172. Were you glued to your screen? Maybe. Were you browsing TikTok instead? Probably.

Look, I'm not saying Jimmy Fallon is bad. He's just... consistently Jimmy Fallon. And sometimes, consistent is just... there.

The Monologue: Hit or Miss?

The monologue is the bread and butter, right? Jokes about current events, a few zingers about politicians. Did anyone actually laugh out loud, or was it more of a polite chuckle?

My unpopular opinion? Some of those jokes felt like they were written by an AI. No, I'm serious! Maybe Fallon should consider adding a robot co-writer.

But hey, he tries! You can't fault the guy for trying. Plus, the graphics are always fun.

The Guests: Were They Worth Staying Up For?

Every episode has guests. Actors promoting their new movie, musicians plugging their album, that one guy who holds the world record for eating the most hot dogs. You know the drill.

In this episode, did the guests bring the energy? Or did they just kind of… exist? Sometimes, the chemistry is magic. Other times, it's like watching two strangers at a bus stop.

I won't name names (mostly because I can't remember who was on), but let's just say some interviews are more engaging than others. Remember when Tom Hanks talked to a volleyball on screen?

The Games: Yay or Nay?

Jimmy Fallon loves his games. Lip Sync Battle, Box of Lies, whatever silly thing he's dreamed up this week. Do these games actually make you laugh? Or do they just make you cringe a little?

Confession time: Sometimes, I skip the games altogether. I know, I know, sacrilege! But honestly, some of them feel a bit forced.

But hey, at least they're trying to do something different. You can't accuse them of being boring!

The Musical Performances: Did They Rock the House?

Musical guests are a staple. Whether it's a pop sensation or an indie band, they bring the noise. Did the performance in this episode make you want to dance? Or did you reach for the remote?

I'm not a music critic, but I know what I like. And sometimes, the musical performances on Fallon are absolute bangers. Other times? Well, let's just say I'm glad for the mute button.

It really is just a matter of music preference, right? What one person finds amazing, another will find awful.

Final Verdict: To Watch or Not To Watch?

So, after all that, is Season 9 Episode 172 of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon worth your time? That's the million-dollar question.

Honestly, it depends on your mood. If you're looking for lighthearted, easy entertainment, then sure, give it a watch. If you're expecting groundbreaking comedy? Maybe lower your expectations just a smidge.

At the end of the day, Jimmy Fallon is just trying to make people smile. And sometimes, that's enough. Even if I spend half the time wondering if the jokes were written by a robot.

And who knows, maybe next time, I will be glued to the screen with excitement.

Just my two cents (or maybe just one lonely penny!).
