This is a great collection of Jimmy's skits on SNL. I'd forgotten what a great talent he is. This is 85 minutes of pure entertainment.

Hilarious; The Best Of The Best - Of's

"Being a big fan of "Saturday Night Live", I at first never really enjoyed Jimmy Fallon's work that much. I thought he was talented, but not very funny. But then I decided to get his best - off, mostly because I'm an "SNL" completist who makes it a task to get every dvd related to the show on the market (so far I have everything but "The Best Of Will Ferrell, Volume 1" and "Christmas"). So I went home to watch it, not expecting to be blown away. However, I wound up laughing pretty much the whole way through.
This dvd focuses on most of Jimmy's principle characters. Among the best are a hilarious edition of "Jarret's Room", radio shock jock Joey Mack from Z - 105, Boston Teen Pat Sullivan and Nick Burns, computer guy. The two best sketches are a montage of his many impressions and a hysterical "Celebrity Jeopardy" with Jimmy doing a phenomenal Adam Sandler impersonation.
Overall, this may be the best "best - of" yet. The only sketches I wish were here are "Wake Up Wakefield" and "Top O' The Morning". Other than that, this is an excellent representation of Jimmy Fallon's work on "Saturday Night Live"."

"As a fan of the older "Saturday Night Live", I never really like Jimmy Fallon. I felt he was very funny but not talented enough to share the stage with the likes of greats such as Will Ferell and Chris Kattan. But being an "SNL" completist who makes it a task to own every "SNL" dvd I can find, I bought "Saturday Night Live - The Best Of Jimmy Fallon". I decided to watch it immediately, thinking I wouldn't like it that much. Well, I was pleasantly surprised, because I know feel that is the best "best - of" yet.
This dvd captures most of the major roles from his 6 years as a cast member, including The Boston Teens (as the learning disbaled Pat Sullivan), Joey Mack from Z-105 (both of these sketches feature Ben Affleck, though I think the Boston Teens sketch with Affleck pal Matt Damon was funnier), his role as "Weekend Update" anchorman opposite Tina Fey (one of the best "Updates" ever), Nick Burns and Jarret from "Jarret's Room" (in a funny edition with Sean William Scott, though I wish they preferred the last appearance with Lindsay Lohan). Also, there's him on "Celebrity Jeopardy" doing a phenomenal Adam Sandler impression and a montage of his impressions, to name some of the highlights.
This dvd isn't perfect. For starters, "The Leather Man" really wasn't very funny (though Horatio Sanz elicited guffaws as stockboy Choo Choo). I would have replaced it with a "Top O' The Morning" sketch. Also, I remember the Bloder Brothers sketch from Jimmy's final episode being funnier than the one on here. And for that musical number with that band with Fallon, Horatio Sanz, Tracy Morgan and Chris Kattan, the Easter edition with Simon Cowell was funnier.
Still, this is an overall hilarious dvd. Probably my favorite "best - of" yet. Take my word. Buy this dvd and experience the phenomenal talent that is Jimmy Fallon."
A Best Of worth having

"If this is the same show I recently saw on NBC, "The Best of Jimmy Fallon" is definitely worth having. I had no idea Fallon did so much great stuff.
I first saw him on "Celebrity Jeopardy" (without even knowing who he was at the time) and thought he did the most phenomenal Adam Sandler I'd ever seen.
He went on to do numerous impersonations flawlessly and, by the time the show as over, I was ready to run out and buy it on DVD. Now I see I've got to wait until January.
The last couple of SNL Best Of volumes I've bought have been a little disappointing, but this one looks like a winner.

"I loved this dvd. It is one of the more hilarious SNL dvds out there. This dvd will not let you down - I laughed through the entire thing. My favorite parts of the dvd were the celebrity impressions, nick burns, and update...but the whole thing was very funny. Definitely worth the money!!"
