Jimmy Fallon

Fallon gets criticized for being too soft an interviewer, but I think that misses the point of what he built. He turned the late-night desk into a playground of games, songs, and impressions, and made joy itself the product. That Diamond Play Button tells the real story: he understood before almost any of his peers that late-night's future lived online in three-minute clips. The kid from Brooklyn who dreamed of Saturday Night Live and actually got there still performs with that same disbelief and gratitude, and audiences can feel it. Sincerity, not edge, is his superpower, and it has aged far better than the cynics predicted.
