Fallon wasn’t really able to sustain an acting career after leaving SNL, in large part because he’s always “Jimmy Fallon” no matter who he’s playing (remember how weird it seemed when he popped up doing a cameo in Band of Brothers?) and because his personality doesn’t pop off the screen the way Will Ferrell’s does. But he’s skilled at sketch comedy, and his ability to impersonate has if anything gotten stronger since going to Late Night. The SNL writers have their ups and downs, but can usually rise to the occasion when presented with a committed host, especially one who already knows the drill. So hopes should be high for the coming show.
Here are the promos Fallon has made for this Saturday, where he’s joined by fellow part-time musician Fred Armisen:
